Introduction
This book is five years in the making! Who was there for the red and black days? For those that just came on board recently, the red and black days refers to the early days of TSB when it had a blood red header with a black background and white text. And Mike and I thought the site looked hot. Putting this book together brought back many memories. I had to search through over 1,500 articles to choose the very best. The evolution of the site, in a way, represents the evolution of both the life of me, and the life of Michael Stoute. We wanted to make this book a diverse look at the four years leading up to its publication. Instead of focusing solely on dating articles, stories, or self help type articles, we chose to break the book up into six parts. These six parts are a great representation of TSB Magazine, as well as Bobby Rio and Michael Stoute- the men behind the magazine. Another reason we chose to break the book up into four parts is because we think you will get more value of it that way. There are articles in here that will help you with all aspects of your life. For instance, if you bought this book for the pickup advice, you might be pleasantly surprised in six months to read some articles about fitness, fashion, or inner game, you may have missed earlier when you ‘re were concentrating solely on devouring all things pickup. The six parts of this book are as follows: Part 1: The Confidential Social Intelligence Manuscript This is our never before released manuscript for becoming a social superstar. This manuscript was first created over 10 years ago. Over the past 10 years it has been tested and refined. This contains everything you need to know to climb to the top of any social ladder. Part 2: The Best of TSB Magazine

The Essential Dating Articles

Social Superstar

Going through our huge library of dating, pickup, relationship and sex articles, I found it tough to choose “the best” so I decided to choose articles that give you a well rounded approach to improving your dating life. Most of these articles came out Mike’s and my own personal experience of improving our dating life. It wasn’t a quick and easy ride for either one of us… we hope that these articles will make your ride a little less bumpy.

The Inner Game Articles
These are some of the articles that mean the most to me. Through the many phases I’ve gone through as a person during the five years we were creating this magazine… these articles resonate with every period. The topics transcend dating advice, as the entire core principles can be applied to any area of your life, and I am confident you’ll see a marked improvement. This section is also the most timeless… as long after the days you are married with children… I hope that you still pick up this section of the book and reread some of these articles and find inspiration from them.

The Alpha Living Articles
Like the Inner Game articles I chose to include these Alpha Living articles because they too, are timeless. These are articles that you can read when you’re a sixty year old man, and still learn something from. Whether you’re interested in getting in shape, maximizing your energy, or just learning the art of ordering a man’s drink in the bar… you’ll find the information in this section. Alpha Living is a way of life that you’ll hopefully continue throughout your lifetime. It is about fulfilling your dreams… and doing so in style.

Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations
The fun stuff! Over the past five years, Mike Stoute and I have chronicled our stories on TSB. These are the stories that made Bobby and Mike the men they’ve become. You’ll read some inspiring stories… and other stories that display our humiliation. Some stories will educate you… other stories will entertain you… and other stories will have you asking “why the hell did I ever take advice from these guys?”

Once you have a clear picture of them in your mind. and sense of personal style. hear the way their voice sounds when it comes out of their mouths. When you think of social superstars. Envision the way the carry themselves. charming. Listen to the way they use humor casually. I would like you to take the time to think about the guys you have met in your personal life who have best exemplified the image of social superstar. Now I want you to spend a minute writing down the different characteristics of them that jumped out at you. Listen to the way they talk. Tommy Lee. Other people want to drink in the enthusiasm. Listen to the way they construct their conversations. there are certain characteristic that they all share. These guys will often be referred to as charismatic.

. The Reaction They Receive What you must first understand going forward is that what causes these men to rise to the level of social superstar has nothing to do with what is inside of them. the envy that other people felt towards them. Now spend a minute writing down the different ways in which people react to them. Try to capture in words. by understanding that there is nothing unique inside of these menyou'll know that you too are capable of reaching their level. Try to describe the energy that these social superstars instilled in others around them. you'll realize that by using the principles of persuasion and influence. and why you want to become it. is because it is my way of outlining the goal for this manuscript.

You need to know what the current trends are before most everyone else. The SL500 Mercedes convertible.you are actively involved with "cooler" social circles. In this chapter you just need to recognize that by being trendy and fashionable you are presenting yourself as having a high level of social intelligence. You can’t wait for your peers to tell you what to like. The image you present to the world should establish you an authority on your scene. These cars have a presence and if you want to be a social superstar you need to have just as powerful of a presence. These cars are sitting right alongside of hundreds of other cars.

Guys new to studying dating and pick up will probably find this advice contradictory to the never ending battle against getting placed in the friend zone. But there is an important distinction between making friends with girls. When you get put in the friend zone your intention wasn't to be friends. Women often make the man. I instead made friends with these girls. This is why it makes much more sense for you to put girls in the friend zone.you should make an effort to befriend the hottest.

.and her choosing to compliment you makes you feel special. When someone gives us something of value. the need to unburden one's self of it is so powerful that a person often acts immediately to restore the balance.The Best of TSBMAG. You remember that compliment. But this theory holds just as true when applied to men who you view as having different social value. A woman will say to another woman "I really like you earrings" and immediately the other woman will say "Thank you." People can't have the weight of reciprocation hanging over them. This is because a lower status male will be viewed as having an agenda. When a man "lower" than you on the social ladder compliments you or does you a favor you feel no special bond toward him. On the other hand. This is why you will so often hear two people complimenting each other within seconds.and more importantly. Now that was an extreme example because of the examples of the two different classes of women. But when a man who you view as being "higher" up the social ladder than you does you a favor or compliments you there an unconscious bond that you feel toward him. But if a woman of exceptional beauty tells you that she likes your new haircut you begin to feel proud of the haircut. People will assume that he is being nice because he wants something from you.

The law of reciprocation is the most powerful of all the weapons of influence.

I am about to tell you the secret to acquiring and keeping massive amounts of friends. You should not only be listening. Everyone is the most important person in their own life. but never take the initiative to set up. but actually remembered obscure details of a conversation. Remember the example I gave earlier of the woman who casually told you that she wanted to be a fireman when she grew up…. Show genuine interest in other people's lives. everyone craves attention and recognition so much it hurts them. but you should be remembering the details of the conversation.and be their biggest fan. you said "I'm sure there are fires you could be putting out. Monster truck derbies These are just some fun things that most people would enjoy. You need to use the information wisely and subtly down the road. There is nothing more flattering to a person than the realization that someone not only listened to them. Anybody can ask a lot of questions to fill up the dead air. Here is a trick for remembering details:

You can play the previous conversation and pick out important details. you can just tell her you have a photographic memory. Other than using one as a self improvement tool when it comes to perfecting tonality and conversation skills. But it is a pleasant surprise and a great conversation hook when you ask them about something they probably assumed you forgot. She went on to confess that she had a huge crush on me throughout college. and then tell her you'll call her. You can also use this when getting a girl's phone number.) These folders should be reviewed before you go out to interact with these people again. then repeat it loud enough for the recorder to pick it up. but she always had a boyfriend so I never talked much to her during college.

Silence is good if you are at the point where you want to move in for the kiss. I know it happens. That way it is not a complete shock when we lean in for the kiss. I’m talking about making an initial contact. but if you are not at that point then you risk a potentially awkward moment. but if you leave without kissing her you are no closer to her pussy then you were yesterday. Tell her. If you can get her hand in yours. Brushing hair away from her eyes. Let her know your intentions if you must leave without kissing her. a little longer than necessary. Holding her hand is the key. Shit. Don’t ask. 6.

. I’m not talking about molester type shit. Make sure you keep the conversation light and flirtatious. Compliment things that she can reply to. Throw compliments out there. Find a genuinely nice characteristic of hers and let her know you notice it. If you let her start rambling on she may wind up talking about something that kills the mood. Those are clichés and hardly ever get you anywhere. It will seem completely appropriate. I stressed this point in lesson #3 but it is well worth repeating. Planting seeds is for farmers my friend. If she has on a nice smelling perfume let her know that you’ve noticed. Now make sure the conversation stays where you want it. 4. in not so many words. You tell a girl she is beautiful and there will be silence. Chances are you won’t have another opportunity as perfect as you just blew. Let her know. Her current boyfriend. she will be more than willing to follow. You may have had the greatest conversation in the world. lead her to that place. once you get her through the crowd. you are more than half way there. If your gut was right. The hand is the first step. This is our way of warning her that it is coming. Shit. Don’t try to flatter her with remarks about her eyes. Before we can kiss a girl we must make use of our hands. If this is the case it is vital that you set the terms of your next encounter immediately. Her last relationship. it creates a certain amount of intimacy. A nice trick is to grab her hand when leading her through a crowded place. Rubbing her back. Her dead aunt. Nothing. YOU WILL TALK YOURSELF RIGHT PAST THE MOMENT. 5. Until your lips have touched hers you have shit. but DO NOT OVER DUE IT. Remember: THE MORE TIME THE TWO OF YOU SPEND TALKING THE HARDER IT WILL BE TO KISS HER. Kiss her already.

Always leave with the upper hand. If she has to leave. let it go. Be decisive. Do not wait for the perfect moment to strike up a conversation. That is why once you have decided on the girl. DO NOT BEG FOR IT. 8. ask for the number. Decide who the lucky lady is for the night and go for her. or go for the kiss. The difference between a winner and a loser is. CONFIDENCE IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE QUALITY YOU CAN DISPLAY TO HER. a place. Don’t be weak. a loser gives up that much sooner. Tell her that you really want to see her again. (Hopefully fucking her) Do this by stressing those warning signals I told you about. Make up your mind quickly and stick to that decision firmly.

. 7. You will spread yourself to thin if you go for more than one girl at a time. Those who look hungry never get fed. but I am sick and tired of stroking myself to sleep. While you don’t want to lose her to the competition. That way if you fail with her. Once you realize that nothing is going to happen tonight. And I don’t know about you. Don’t act hungry. Even if you are. There is no perfect moment. you also don’t want to appear desperate. Overcome small obstacles. If a girl shoots one of your attempts down and you continue on it shows vast amounts of confidence. Don’t settle for less. I hate making that call. Set a date. Use your hand. This is kind of a rehash of the other nine lessons. Unfortunately you can’t fuck them all. push the other ones out of your mind for the time being. Don’t leave it up to a phone call. There are a million girls in the world. 10. WAITING FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT = ANOTHER NIGHT JERKING OFF. and a time up. Now I’m not saying you can’t talk to other girls and use them as jealousy tools. and overcome them. Once you have decided. Make plans to see her right then and there. It will kill your chances for next time. and I’m sure most of you do to. let her leave. Follow lesson #6 while saying goodbye. Hold her hand for a second or two longer than normal while saying goodbye. But do not try to talk her into staying around. A winner figures out a way to win. The perfect moment does not exist.Social Superstar
that when you see her again you intend on kissing her. 9. deal with them. but know who the bitch of the bunch is and go for her 100%. hold the hand. Girls do not like the weak.she’s off the list.

These are the toughest lessons to master. get more pussy in a week then I did in a year. As with anything in life. UNTIL YOUR DICK PENETRATES HER PUSSY YOU HAVE JACK SHIT.

Because without it you’re a dreamer. I learned these lessons the rough way. And dreams are like thoughts. Until you have that girl naked in your bed begging for your cock to dig inside of her.

Emulate a Celebrity for Instant Rapport
Written by Bobby Rio Original Published: 11/19/2007

This is simple advice. I’ve done it. And I’ve seen other people do it. And it works. It works like a charm. This is best for guys who haven’t yet developed their own personal style and unleashed their own personal inner charisma. People naturally feel most comfortable around people they know. They are also most attracted to people that they see often. This is the reason people often date someone they work with, go to school with, or share mutual friends with. You see these people all the time and they are part of your consciousness. When you see these people out you are drawn to them out of their familiarity. Because they are familiar you feel rapport with them and are attracted to them easier then someone you are seeing for the first time. Follow me so far? This all came much clearer recently in Brazil. I was in a city where I knew no one. The place is filled with beautiful women. It is relatively easy to initiate a conversation with any of the girls down there, as I am a young decent looking foreigner. What I noticed about myself is that I was drawn to the girls that reminded me of girls I knew back home. I was consistently going after the girls that resembled girls from my social circle, not just in appearance but in manner. It wasn’t a conscious decision. But in a land of unfamiliarity these girls were comfortable. They put me at ease. I felt a rapport with them which made me more attracted to them. This got me to thinking. When you’re out and you see someone who looks like someone that you know, don’t you pay a little more attention to them then the other less familiar looking faces? Most people do. It’s natural. We like familiarity. Women are the same way. I’ve found that when a woman I just met tells me that I remind her of someone she knows, she is usually more responsive to me, lets things accelerate quicker, and generally less flaky in future meetings. So the question I had was how I could create this rapport more often. And the answer was to remind women of someone they know more

often. Since we don’t know anything about most women and the men in their lives, how can we remind them of someone they know? We have to remind them of someone that everyone knows. And who does everyone know? Celebrities! I know a few guys who naturally resemble celebrities (not necessarily traditionally good looking celebrities) and these guys have always had an easy time opening women. Most of the time the women don’t even realize that the guy looks like so and so, but they feel an instant rapport with them. This is because these guys are familiar to women. The women feel like they’ve known them for a long time. They put their guards down. So a quick way to gain instant rapport with women is to emulate a celebrity. Most of us have a celebrity that we resemble in some way. It doesn’t have to be a great looking guy. It can be Tony Soprano for all it matters. It just has to be someone that is part of national consciousness. Once you decide on someone that you physically resemble (it helps if it’s someone that other people have told you) then next step is emulate their mannerisms, their tone of voice, their gestures, facial expressions, and style of dress. I’m not talking about stalker type obsessive shit… I’m just talking about emulating someone. You can rent a few videos of the person you’ve chosen and really watch them. And practice. Practice their walk, their talk, and their mannerisms. You don’t want to make it obvious that you’re trying to look like someone. And the people that know you closely will notice the change and most likely rip on you for it... But when you go out you’ll notice a huge difference in the way you are reacted to. Girls will open up to you much easier. This doesn’t mean you don’t need the game to back it up. But it will open doors that might have otherwise been shut. Try it. See for yourself and let me know the results.

Using an Opinion Opener to Initiate a Conversation
Written by Bobby Rio Original Published: 03/01/20089

Last night after the radio show Mike Stoute and I headed over to a local pub for a couple beers. The radio show was quite stressful as there was a shit load of technical difficulties with the transmitter… which messed the phone lines up, and hence, instead of talking to our planned guest we were forced to improvise. It left us feeling drained and just looking to unwind. The both of us already had girls we were going to be meeting later on, so our intentions were solely to chat a little and throw a few beers back. As some of you know, both Mike and I are recently single, and once again experiencing some of the things that make dating such a pain in the ass. Our conversation at the bar turned towards the girls we were going to be meeting later on in the night. Both of us had been dating these girls for a brief period of time and already beginning to experience the “what is this?” or “where is this going?” or “what should I tell my friends we are?” talk. The talk that takes the fun out of casual relationships. Mike and I were telling each other various stories of time’s we’ve been in the situation and how the different girls reacted. We were trying to come up with the “right” way to answer the dreaded “what is this?” question. Although the topic was somewhat serious, we began making a goof of it by coming up with over the top comebacks to the question. “Well, Sally now that you’ve asked… I thought we would spend a few weeks fucking, you know, to keep my dick occupied until something better comes along.” The goofing put us in a better mood and got us laughing a bit. Keen to the fact that there were two fairly attractive girls standing next to us sipping drinks, Mike casually turns to them and says “What's the best way to respond to a girl when she asks ‘what is this’ and you’re not really into her?” The girls were all too eager to jump in with their opinions. The four of us quickly became immersed in conversation. Soon the question became “what do you say when someone tells you ‘I love you’ during sex, and you don’t feel the same way? This got the conversations even livelier and more provocative. Soon the two girls were met by another female

friend and instantly dragged her into the conversations, introducing us to her as if we were long time acquaintances. After getting a handful of text messages from the girls we were supposed to be meeting later on, we decided to call it an evening and head home. Although both of the girls we were talking to at the bar were attractive, neither of them struck enough interest in Mike or me to ask for numbers. So we said goodbye and left. On the way home I got to thinking how smoothly the whole conversation transpired. It reminded me of another time a few months back when I used an opinion opener that lead to a one night stand. What the two nights had in common, and what I believe made the openers work so smoothly, was the fact that they were legitimate questions that we wanted the answer to. In the Houlihan’s story, Eddy and I were already engrossed in a conversation that was entertaining us, so it was perfectly natural to invite a couple girls into it- to share their opinions. Our energy was real and the girl’s sensed it… which opened them up to take interest in our opinion opener. The same thing happened last night with Mike. Mike and I were legitimately curious to know what a girl wanted to hear from a guy when she asks “what is this?” so the girls we asked were more than willing to commit to the conversation. I think that the biggest mistake guys make when it comes to fully understand how to use an opinion opener is that they don’t realize that they need to have some emotional involvement in the answer. If you’re using canned openers, chances are you are using an opener that someone else had emotional involvement in, and that is why it worked for them, and not for you. When I use the phrase “emotional involvement” it doesn’t mean you need to feel deeply and passionately about the topic, but it does mean that you have to have some level of curiosity and interest. For instance, most people have heard of Neil Strauss’s “80’s pop duo” opener. Neil Strauss found humor in naming dogs after an 80’s pop duo, so when he asked that opener at the very least he was entertained by the idea. Some people are out there using this same opener and weren’t even born in the 80’s and could care less about 80’s pop duos. These people have no emotional involvement in the opener and it will rarely work for
116

Social Superstar

them. If the notion of naming a couple pugs “Hall and Oates” doesn’t make you laugh, how is it supposed to be entertaining to a girl you’re imposing it on? Joseph Mathews wrote one of my favorite books on opening called “The Art of Approaching” but I think the biggest mistake others who buy that book make is that they skip all the great theory and skill building and flip right to the long collection of openers. There is nothing magic in an opener that Mathews created, or Mystery created, or Style or Tyler Durden or Mehow. Those are just openers that happened to work for them. Just like I wrote about Mike’s “what's the best answer” opener, and I’m sure I’ll read in some field report in a few weeks how someone used that as their opener. I think instead of focusing on what Mike said to initiate the conversation last night you should focus on the way the night took place. Mike and I went out to have some good conversation. We were discussing a topic that interested and entertained us. When the point in the conversation called for another opinion we casually turned to the girl’s next to us and asked them a question. Our energy was good, our topic interesting, and everything flowed from there. Now you may not always be in the middle of a great conversation when you want to approach a girl. If that’s the case, instead of using an opener from someone else’s past great conversation, use one from your own. If a couple nights ago you and a few friends were in a heated debate over whether or not American Idol is rigged… then draw upon that conversation for an opener. If you were talking about “who turns out more successful the high school nerds or jocks” then use that as opener. At least you had some emotional involvement in them at one point. And I think if you’re genuinely curious about the answer than you won’t hear that little nagging voice in the back of your head calling you a fraud when you say “Do floss before brushing?”

Being Comfortable Talking Dirty
Written by Michael Stoute Original Published: 02/25/2008

Talking dirty to girls is something that I have struggled with for a long time. It is only now that I feel “pretty” comfortable doing it, still with some hesitancy. I am sure that this comes to some men pretty easily, but it just didn’t to me. There I was, enjoying some great sex when I hear “Tell me how you like fu*king my pus*y” Now don’t get me wrong, I did like fu*king her pus*y, yet I didn’t feel compelled to actually say it to her? Then when I would say it, I felt like I didn’t use a strong enough tone of voice and sounded weird. With all this going on I actually start to lose wood…Great! I couldn’t really understand why I was having this problem. I was confident in all other areas of my game, yet when it came to this I was on new ground. What I realized is that most of the problem had to do with me dating a different breed of woman. A woman who may not be so confident in life, but has ultimate confidence in the bedroom. Girls with more sexual experience than me in some cases… MAN UP These women want someone to take control; hair pulling seems to be as common a missionary these days. Spanking makes me think of booty’s, not babies and giving girls mild titty twister’s (purple nurple) is coming back. The sexual culture is changing and you may be missing it. Women like this don’t just tell you to pull their hair and spank them, you have to know! So how do you know?

You have to build rapport and maintain Kino escalation to test the waters. (Build comfort and get her comfortable with you touching her and vice versa) Then move this forward veeeeerrrrrrryyy slowly. Maybe start while you are talking and touch her arm, and leave it there for like 5-10 seconds. NEVER GROPE! Keep it real calm and relaxed. Later on lean in to talk to her and use touching her leg as an effect in something you are saying. Example: You're telling some story about something and you say. “Then he grabs me and …..” When you say grabs me, grab her leg for a sec, at most until you finish your sentence, then pull away and continue with your story. Later on (if you are still being your cool guy self and are not being creepy) you need to start looking for opportunities to make a comment about her anatomy, I would go for the ass, one because it is the least confrontational and two, because I love ass! With confidence say something like, “You have a really nice looking ass, would you mind if I gave it a little smack?” MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GREAT KINO AND RAPPORT BEFORE ATTEMPTING A BOLD APPROACH LIKE THIS; IT WORKS FOR ME...THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY. Most girls just laugh, some let me smack it on the spot and others make me work for it a little. Either way, it’s a great SOI (statement of intent) that will for sure keep you out of the friend zone. If it does work, you may have just found you next sex tigress!

Big mistake. especially the hot ones. Confuse me. your daddy issues. and then use the term “friend” to describe me. 1. I don’t want to talk about your job. Tell me you want your space. In the beginning you need to create sexual tension. googly eyes. Once you tell me I lose interest. You have to do this through a mix of playful banter and gradually increasing the amount of time your hands spend touching parts of my body. because then it would become predictable. I think that you'll find doing these same things will keep the girl interested as well. Like my friends and get them to like you. Too many girls. but then never be available to hang out.

Keeping Cool and Plowing On

Every so often I hit that point where the time comes I need to get my ass back in shape. “It's just my gym outfit. I’m naturally lazy. Plow on.” “Oh yea?” she says. “See that mirror.

How to Talk to Younger Women
Written by Bobby Rio Original Published: 03/14/2008
Tonight I’m heading to hang out with a few college guys that I know. I would head to a college bar or college party and get no response from the girls I was trying to talk to. I realized a little later that what I was doing wrong was trying to approach these girls in a rational way to spark interest. Not ask them questions that make them dig for answers that take them into their head… but instead to make declarative statements about them… For instance. I realized it was the way I was hitting on these girls that was fucking it up for me. plowing through women (until I met the ex) but after college my skills trailed off in the same environment. None of this worked. You need to keep them in the moment if you want to score with them. “How do you like living in the dorms?” and then I would go on and tell them a story about my dorm life experience. The best way to keep them in the moment is to talk about them. I was talking to them in a way that was taking them out of the moment. What I failed to realize is how self obsessed younger girls tend to be.

She’ll usually say “No.The Best of TSBMAG. 3.” This gets the conversation centered in the moment… Me and her talking about how she appears to me right now.. or how much money you make.

Very playful and fun… The trick is to keep the interaction fun. I’ll say something like “That guy over there is upset because he misses his dog” and then I’ll go off the cuff with some humorous reason I observe that. Use a little cold reading to keep interest.” If that dies down a bit I’ll keep the conversation ‘in the moment’ by pointing at other people standing around us and begin making random statements about them. Avoid talking about “what is your major?”Or “Back when I was in college…” and don’t try to impress them with the things that tend to impress older girls. Assign her a nickname to establish rapport 4.

Going Caveman on Women

Having Trouble Getting Hard?
Written by Bobby Rio Original Published: 08/04/2008
This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for awhile. But the minute I had a girl willing to come back to my place… I would lose all feeling down there.

When we finally got to my place I was a nervous wreck. I found it almost impossible to put on a condom without losing or at least greatly diminishing my erection. And the more anxiety I felt… the less chance I would get or maintain an erection.) fat girls. 5. Mainly because I feared going for the homerun… only to fail. The entire time my mind was racing with anxiety over how well I would perform at something I’ve waited 18 years to attempt. Of course. The more time I had to prepare for the sexual encounter… the more anxiety I felt. But I was very rarely closing the deal with them. My girlfriend went on the pill… so all was well. Alcohol in large doses made me lose all sensitivity down there. Alcohol in small doses helped the problem.e. girls I didn’t want to sleep. After we broke up I entered the hell of erectile dysfunction all over again. This meant that if I could make it past the first few mishaps with a girl… it would be smooth sailing from there on out. I managed to fondle myself in the bathroom enough to get it up… but when she handed me a condom to place on my boss… I fizzled away. It most often happened in experiences where there was a built up pressure involved. 4. and then a movie. 3. 2. The less comfortable I was with the girl… the less chance of success in the bedroom.

We went out to dinner. girls I wasn’t supposed to sleep with.The Best of TSBMAG. It wasn’t until one morning when she climbed on top of me… slid me inside her and starting bouncing up and down… that I finally was able to maintain an erection.COM

Visualizations are a powerful tool that can be used for achieving any goal… but for me. Whenever I was on a date with a girl I would start letting the anxiety take over and imagining the pain and embarrassment I would feel if I couldn’t get it up.” What I did know was that my sexual confidence was completely down the toilet for awhile there. If there was still nothing going on down there… I would eat her pussy and call it a night. overcoming erectile dysfunction was where I saw the most distinct result. Road to Recovery The biggest break through that I had was one day opening up to my friends about my problem. The next biggest breakthrough came with using visualizations. Horny Goat Weed. Sometimes I would blame it on being “too drunk.” Other times I would blame it on being “stressed out over finals”. That is my biggest inspiration for writing the article. Man Power. and just about every other over the counter supplement… and none of them made a damn difference. How I Handled the Problem when it occurred If I didn’t avoid sex completely with a girl… I would prolong it as long as possible with massive amounts of foreplay. I was amazed to find that pretty much all of them had experienced the problem before. Ginseng. I realized that much of the cause of the problem was me visualizing the worst possible outcome. I would pull her hand away and just pretend that I was teasing her to build anticipation.

I changed my internal visualizations. I would attempt to wear them on occasion.” And I believed her. Whenever I started to feel anxiety creep in… I would start imaging having the wildest hottest sex imaginable with the girl. Repeat the image of yourself performing competently over and over in your mind. I’ve worn them consistently since her and never once lost my erection putting one on. I would tell myself “it happens” and then begin looking forward to my next opportunity to sleep with the girl. Oddly enough… with all the girls I slept with I never once had a girl force me to wear a condom. I was hard as a rock. We honest to god.

I don’t kid myself to believe it will never happen again. fucked for like four hours straight. If you’re going through the problem right now the best advice I can give you is to stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. My first time using a condom with her I managed. The hardest obstacle to overcome was my aversion to condoms. I made her come multiple times. because it was the best sex of my life too. I began viewing them as a tool to last longer in bed. I fucked her all over her house. Instead change your focus to the mind blowing sex you intend to have. but could not cum. but if I felt myself shrinking… I would chuck it aside. I would hold the vision of this unbelievable sex in mind and it was like a fortress blocking out the anxiety. I would imagine myself hard as a rock jamming her to the point of pain. It’s part of being a man. We had the most mind blowing sex of my life. The mind naturally attracts what we focus on the most.

PUA Openers. that is all an opener is. topical (mainly topics girls might be interested in) and they are sometimes comedic. but I feel that it's time to write on the subject again. Remember the topics at times are supposed to cause arguments (who lies more… floss before or after… is kissing cheating…. These were original openers that better matched my unique personality. So are canned openers good? If it takes using a canned opener to get you to have the confidence to open your mouth in front of a girl then by all means use them. I memorized the punch lines. I looked for the reasons that they work. never political.) but the openers cause flirty type of arguments… not real heated win or lose type arguments. the hooks. A conversation starter. Essentially. So what makes a good opener? The reason that openers Mystery uses or Style or any of the other canned ones that have become popular over the years. I think that is why Neil Strauss's book became so famous.. I used the outlines he gave and wrote openers that actually interested me. So in reality anything that you say to a girl is an opener. What I did when I was first starting out years ago was I bought the book The Art of Approaching and basically took the 50 or so openers he gives you in there and studied them. Because it gave a lot of people a handbook of what to say to a girl to start a conversation. (Or hasn’t it always been?) What are good openers? Will Mystery openers still work? Are canned openers good? Mike Stoute and I did a podcast about openers a few months ago.. Openers

They had exchanged pleasantries but the conversations were always short because she was working out with friends. Using the same principle. He bought a 6-pack of soy yogurts and I told him to go ask her if she could ring him up. If she wants to know if you have a girlfriend you don’t have to tell her. She will find ways to be closer to you and look for excuses to ask you questions. but did smile at me and listened when I spoke. She confessed in a cute way that she had asked her friend who knew a lot about the war to fill her in because she wanted to appear smart in front of me. To close. I want to tell a quick story.

has left me with the feeling that the man lacks a sense of integrity. Period. I relate it similarly to mistakes I’ve made where I’ve cheated on girls that I loved. While making a mistake is human nature. But most of us have defined our core set of values to let these sorts of lies slip by. I don’t think any of us are above lying.

Owning up to a mistake is what separates the men from the boys. I will not deny it. It would have been easier to continue the lies (as OJ showed us deny deny deny) but to me there is a difference between situational lying and lying about something you’ve been accused of. But when I eventually got caught I laid all of my cards on the table. But watching Clemens blatantly lying over and over again to save his chances for the Hall and his endorsement deals. I’ve lied to girls and cheated on them. It is my personal business and I may not feel the need to be completely open. If someone casually asks me how many girls I’ve slept with. But life is too short for regrets so I move on. Human beings make mistakes. I told them EXACTLY how I felt and why I did it. But if a girl claims to have slept with me. Shit happens. And if someone casually asked Roger Clemens if he’s ever used steroids I would not condemn him for lying in that situation.

Jackie was a girl I worked with a few years back. The two fall in love and date for awhile before circumstance prevents the two from continuing their love affair. but instead they are usually girls that we have unfinished business with… girls that “slipped away” or circumstance prevented things from going further. We clicked on many different levels… and we both were insanely attracted to each other… but Jackie was “on the promiscuous side. In the novel. And discussed the details with me.The Best of TSBMAG. He also throws party after party in his mansion in hopes of her showing up without the realization that it was her old lover throwing the party. The Great Gatsby Complex is an inward hope of meeting someone from your past that drives you to make decisions in your present life. and Gatsby spends the next five years building an empire to impress her with his new wealth. F. The reason that I decided to write about this is because the other night I realized that I still suffer from what I call The Great Gatsby Complex. It is the guy who is struggling through law school so that he can show up at his high school reunion and impress a girl he had a crush on ten years ago… it is the guy that is at the gym seven days a week building the perfect body in hope that he runs into an old flame and she’s blown away by his chiseled abs.

Jackie was a known slut. but there was one big problem. Kryptonite. I don’t consider myself as having oneitis over any one of them… but I do find myself hoping that they’ll show up at the bar I’m at more often that I’d like to. I do have fantasies of running into one of them and instantly rekindling the old unfinished feelings.. Soon I found myself standing on his porch telling her how cute she was… then we kissed. I tried to avoid her after (she wasn’t exactly street legal) but a week later she called me up and asked me to go down the shore with her and her friend..

I think that the reason it's the girls that we have unfinished business with that haunt us the most is because we only have the memories of the intense attraction. AND THAT'S ALL THEY WERE.The Best of TSBMAG. You have to know that you have all the qualities and characteristics to meet and attract an even more special girl. Part of the reason we hold onto these ghosts from our past is because we don’t believe that we’ll meet anyone better.

Somewhere in between Saturday and Sunday I convinced myself the reason that she’s avoiding me is because she doesn’t trust that I’m really into her. I fell asleep that night with the phone in my hand. While still at work I sent her a text “I want to see you.” I would momentarily feel better. but I was in a state that I had never previously experienced.

Sometimes we get in a financial slump where we just can’t get caught up on bills. the further along you seem to fall into it. Once you’re no longer missing the $25 a month… start saving $35. Focus on One Goal. Start Small. And then when we try to get back on track. If you’re dreading putting seven days a week in at the gym. Other times we go through a dating slump (draught) where it seems like we’ll never kiss a girl again. This prevents people from making any effort at all to interact with new people. the mere thought of the time and energy involved in starting a relationship can scare the crap out of you. And other times we go through a health slump where we seem to just entirely let ourselves go. If you want to get your finances in order don’t dwell on how you’re going to pay off that $15. 3.

When you find yourself losing focus or motivation… pull out the index card and reread your goal. And when that gust dies down… to know that it will arrive again shortly. Get Inspired. Find some Good Wingmen and Avoid the Negative. It’s quite possible that you’ll find the mere habit of working out daily will motivate you to meet more people and get your finances in order.

Going Down in Flames
Written by Alex Strandberg Original Published: 07/03/2008

We all care way too much what a complete stranger that knows nothing about us thinks. Fear of rejection is the underlying emotion in most approaches. The thought of a beautiful woman sitting there and calling you a loser in front of the entire club makes most guys stomachs turn in knots. Sort or ironically, being rejected will bring the most success with women into your life. Let me explain Internally most guys think that they are complete lonely losers that no one could love. They greatly fear that women will find this out and have no desire for them. They learn all these cool lines and tricks but that fear of being thought of as a loser by women and confirming their already held beliefs is still strong. It carries so much weight that it cripples them from being comfortable in interactions or EVEN APPROACHING WOMEN. They try their hardest to avoid getting “rejected” in order to avoid facing their own belief system. They try their very best to do everything “right "and LOOK COOL but by the very act of trying they are doing everything wrong. From this they place way too much importance on getting a good re-action from the girl and becoming very outcome dependent and needy. If the interaction goes well they get a false sense of self esteem from the girl and feel good. If it goes badly then that fear of actually being a loser is triggered and they feel terrible. When you are outcome dependent you become very attached to what the girl thinks of you. This just breeds of insecurity and neediness which if you hadn’t guessed is a HUGE TURN OFF for women. Women are attracted to men who could take or leave any woman. Not caring whether the woman comes, stays, lays or prays seems very counter intuitive but it's what will get you the “best” results and lead to a happier and more peaceful life.

In addition to this fear of being rejected is a fear of the unknown. If you are just starting out in approaching or have done a couple of approaches the fear of the unknown is still lingering in the background. This fear makes your mind race at a hundred miles per hour with a million Questions: “what if she pours a drink on me?” “What if she rejects me and all the people in the club laugh at me and I am humiliated?” “What if this happens?” “What if that happens?” And so on. The only way around fear of the unknown is to go straight through it and become comfortable with ambiguity of approaching and life. When you get rejected badly and the initial sting wears down you will find it hilarious how some girls will treat a complete stranger who was just saying Hi to them and being friendly. Part of the reason why they felt the need to reject you badly is how annoyed they are at being hit on all day by guys who haven’t a clue. Another part of it is the pleasure they get from rejecting guys. They love the feeling of having the power to control another person's state of emotions through their own actions. One of the biggest fears that guys carry around with them is a fear of going back to who they were before they learned of the seduction community or any self help stuff. They remember how they felt before knowing any better, the loneliness, the feeling or being powerless and useless in driving the direction of their own lives. Guy’s develop a debilitating fear of being rejected because they fear that they will go back to who they were in the past. As a result, they avoid rejection at all costs. My suggestion: Go out with the intention of getting rejected HARD. Like any fear, the only way around it is to go through it. Getting rejected, laughed at, drink thrown in face is NOT A BIG DEAL. It’s not a big deal but you need to go through harsh and “embarrassing” rejection in order to realize that it doesn’t matter what some anorexic club ho who has NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE thinks of you. Hypnotica walked around for two months unshowered, unshaven, in a dress with a dildo strapped to his head in order to get over caring about what other people think. This is a great thing to do but it’s not very practical to people with jobs and obligations. Alternatively, you can go out as many times as needed with the intention of getting rejected.

Here are a couple of things you can do to go down in flames: -Go up to a girl or a group of girls and ask them “hey, do you like salads? I like croutons that come with salads” It’s a very stupid and ridiculous question to ask to girls in a club but it will help you get over trying to look cool and caring what they think of you. -Go up to a girl and in a suave and cheesy way say “Daddy’s home” but try not to crack up laughing before you deliver the line. After you say these two things or make up your own, DON’T try and recover and get the girl-just make the approach as bad as you can possibly make it. You might feel uneasy and dumb saying these things but those feelings will eventually go away. Each time you get rejected badly you will get closer and closer to not giving a shit what other people think about you and you will stop caring about the outcome of the situation. Releasing attachment and concern for other’s opinion of you will GREATLY improve your success with women and all other areas of your life. After a while you will actually begin to enjoy being rejected because of how funny it will become to you. Your skin will be so thick that nothing she does will be any concern of yours. It will no longer send you down a spiral of depression and completely ruin your night. I’m sort of sadistic in nature; I’m not sure what I enjoy more, being rejected badly or getting the girl. I’m leaning towards to former because getting the girl is enjoyable but getting rejected harshly in a hilarious way is damn entertaining. -Alex

Bust Through Your Comfort Zone
Written by Bobby Rio Original Published: 08/08/2008

I´m sitting here at an outdoor internet cafe in Medellin, Colombia staring at the beautiful city surrounded by mountains, and all I can think is ¨just three years ago I used to shit myself at the thought of vacationing to Colombia.¨ I would literally freeze up imagining myself alone in Colombia. I had visions of corrupt police, rampant drug wars, kidnappings, violence, and theft. Although I had visited Brazil and Argentina on several occasions, Colombia was on a short list of places that I was too scared to venture. Well, all it took was the persuasion of one hot Colombian girl, and here I am. It's my third day here and I feel this incredible weight lifted off of my shoulders. I have always prided myself in my sense of adventure... and I cringed at the thought that there were places I was avoiding out of fear. Well, I broke through my fear... only to find that they were completely unwarranted. Yes, completely unwarranted. Like most of our fears. I´ve been giving a lot of thought about what contributes to that stealth inner game that some guys seem to have. I´ve actually been building a list of traits and actions we can make our own to slowly reach that unstoppable confidence we all want. And on that list is: THE DRIVE AND ABILITY TO BREAK THROUGH OUR COMFORT ZONES We all have comfort zones. We are comfortable with a certain group of friends. We are comfortable at certain bars and clubs. We are comfortable dating a certain scale of girls. We are comfortable performing a certain type of job. We are comfortable making a certain income... But what I´ve come to realize is that the truly confident and successful people rarely stay in their comfort zone long. Confident, successful people are always looking to push and challenge themselves. They are

always on the lookout for new opportunities that will inspire them to be an even better person. The main reason that most of us stay in our comfort zone is fear. Sure, we will claim to really like hooking up with chubby girls. Or really love that townie bar around the corner from our house.... but what we are really saying is ¨We are not willing to take the risk to find out if something better exists.¨ But the fact remains: Something better does exist. But we won´t ever attain it if we aren´t willing to sacrifice comfort for a little while. Here is my advice: Take Action Make a list of people, places, and actions that are a part of your comfort zone. Do you go to the same hair stylist because you love their haircut, or are you afraid to try someone else? Do you find yourself heading to the same bar? Buying the same polo t-shirts? Hitting on the same scale of girls? Going for the same type of job? Make a list of everything that falls within your comfort zone. Once you´ve created a list of things that make up your comfort zone; make another list. This is your Action List. On this list write down one step you can take towards breaking out of your comfort zone. Write the name of a bar you´ve always wanted to check out. Write the image change you´ve been dying to make. Write down the job you´ve always wanted to apply for. Now look at that list. And do everything on it. You want unstoppable inner game? Then do it. Do it.

10 Ways to Immediately Make Yourself More Attractive
Written by Bobby Rio Original Published: 04/06/2008

You want to see immediate results? You want to start getting more phone numbers, more looks, more compliments? Then implement these simple ten steps now and you’ll have more dates than you can handle. Tip #1- Improve your Posture Most people don’t realize the importance of posture. But it says more about you than anything that comes out of your mouth. Bad posture can make you look bored, depressed, or just plain homely. Improving your posture starts with becoming aware of it. Just being aware of excessive slouching will force you to take action right then. Toning your muscles through exercise will also help enhance posture. Place your head squarely on top of your neck, make sure your shoulders are upright and your back is arched forward. This will make you appear taller and more confident. Be sure to leave your arms relaxed and loose. A great way to improve posture is to remain active throughout the day. This will prevent your body from being molded the wrong way. Tip #2- Smile A smile can literally light up a room. A man or woman who walks around flashing a smile will always be perceived to be more attractive. With a healthy smile, we are able to transmit the emotions within our hearts. It is very true that our smile reflects our mood, personality and even our inner health. Smiling makes you seem warmer, more inviting, confident, happy… but the best part is that a great smile can make someone else feel all of these same emotions and attach them to you. The best way to improve your smile is by practicing in front of a mirror. Make sure that what you're intending as a smile isn’t coming off as a smirk. Also pay attention to your teeth. Nice teeth are a cornerstone of a good smile. If you’re teeth are yellow consider getting them whitened. It is also important to stay on top of dentist visits. Tip #3- Tanning

The Best of TSBMAG.COM

Don’t misunderstand this tip as a call for you to turn yourself into an orange oompa loompa. Orange skin is not attractive. But some healthy looking color can benefit anyone, especially in the winter time when our complexions tend to get pale. I would generally recommend tanning a few times a month. I usually go just enough to have color, but not so much that people can recognize that I’ve been tanning. Tan skin makes you look thinner, healthier, and tends to make your clothes look better against your skin. It also helps hide imperfections in your complexion. Tip #4- Be Flirtatious Someone who knows how to flirt effectively will always attract more of the opposite sex than someone who solely relies on their looks. Flirting is an art form that if you can master you will be a few steps ahead of the competition. Flirting is essential in creating sexual tension. They key to flirting is achieving a sense of relaxed playfulness. Teasing is a great way to flirt. As is competitive flirting which takes the form of slight sarcasm and dry wit. Cooperative flirting is different. Rather than jabbing her, you pull her into your reality and create an “us against the world” dynamic. Flirting is a mix of pushing away with words and pulling in with actions. In the game of flirting think back to how you acted towards that classmate you had a crush on in the fourth grade… and act the same exact way. Tip #5- Get an Expensive Haircut The haircut needs to be great. It is very easy to go the cheap route when it comes to getting your haircut and head to the local Supercuts. This won’t cut it if your goal is to immediately make yourself more attractive. The key here is going to a salon that has a great reputation. These salons will usually cost you much more than your local barber… but it's worth it. Movie stars look like movie stars because they have the best that money can by making them look that way. Even if it is only a one time deal you deserve to get a “movie star” haircut. Stylists at these salons know how to shape a haircut around your particular face, head size, and personal style. There will be a huge difference. Even if you can’t afford to

How to Redo Your Wardrobe
Written by Michael Stoute Original Published: 07/24/2008
This is a 3 part series I am writing about how to redo your wardrobe. When you’re running out of something. shorts.

Throw it Out! Go through each pile and start throwing out everything you don’t wear. Part 2 If you read the previous post in this series “The Throw Away”. Mix and Match I want you to go through all your remaining clothes and see what actually goes together.The Best of TSBMAG. You have also looked at all the remaining items and studied them. If you are looking at something and saying “but I have always had this” or “this is my lucky t-shirt”.

. Now I want you to either write down or take pictures (preferred) of what you currently have and wear on a regular basis. then print them out on a cheap color printer so that you can just cut them out like photos. then you have already gone through your entire wardrobe and thrown away what you didn’t need following the process I outlined. Homework Study the remaining clothes or pictures of them and get ready for Part 2. If you take digital pictures. pen and paper or in your head Now it’s time to move into the second phase. If you don’t wear too many colors (like most men) this will not be hard and may not even be necessary. What’s’ Left? If you haven’t been clothes shopping too much lately then you are probably left over with a relatively small amount of clothing. either with photos. dump it or wash it and put it in a box somewhere that you will bury as a time capsule for aliens to find in the future. The only way this will work is if you get rid of everything you don’t wear so that you can see what you actively have to work with. Let’s start with colors first. These are your staple outfits that you currently wear. Most people only wear 15-25 different items on a regular basis yet everyone has a closet full of crap.

I would say go to Marshalls or some other “Yesterdays Fashion” outlet and look through the clearance racks. I rarely buy things full price and I always visit the clearance section of every store I go to first. clothes cost money and you will always have to invest money into your wardrobe to keep it updated. You should be able to find 3-4 or more nice things for around $75$100. The ideal set of different outfits is 10 in my opinion. The reason I wanted you to make 5 different outfits is because you want to be able to “recycle” what you wear every week so that you are not wearing the same thing every day and for laundry reasons as well. but just think of it as a kick start to your new image. but before you go I want you to remember the 5 outfits that you are working with already and/or take pictures of them with you. $250 is a fair amount for a man to spend on his wardrobe in one day. Think about the weaker points of your wardrobe and what you need most.
205
. I suggest going to the GAP and buying 2 nice pairs of boot cut jeans to add to your current wardrobe. always leaving you with clean clothes! (+ $250) Now that you have thrown away unused clothes and picked out some outfits with the remaining. The reason this part requires money is simple. Men can typically wear the same or similar jeans over and over without any problem so my guess is that you probably are going to take a bulk of this money and spend it on tops. it’s time to put on the finishing touch on your new wardrobe. If you don’t have any decent jeans. If you used any of the clothing items in more than one outfit. then this is a clue where the weakest part of your wardrobe lies. This way you can wear something different for 10 days and do laundry every 5 days. The jeans should run you about $50$75… Shirts and Tops To start things off you want to pick up 3-4 new shirts/sweaters or some kind of top.Social Superstar
Look at what you currently have and see what your outfit possibilities are. Your initial investment… Take some of your hard earned money and get ready to shop. Try to make 5 different outfits out of what you have.

If you have to buy a new pair I would suggest trying on a lot of different kinds with a pair of jeans on to see which ones look and feel the best. If you are looking at a cool shirt. Comfort is so important with shoes and I urge you to make sure they are comfortable or you will never end up wearing them. For sneakers. Shoes are a different story. So check out what you already have before spending a lot of money. Before buying a pair of shoes I would look through your closet for any old shoes you may have forgotten about. Shoes and Sneakers With the reaming money I would like you to buy a new pair of sneakers or shoes. You might find a pair or two of decent leather shoes that you can just take to the shoe shop and get shined and fixed up. take a step back and think of how many other things you own and how this shirt can be meshed in with your current clothing arsenal. Shoes that are made well will last and if they fall apart can usually be fixed.The Best of TSBMAG. Adidas. Stay away from the high end brands for now unless you can afford them of course. I would recommend something in the Converse. Don’t buy that crazy shirt because you will wear it once every 3 weeks and feel like a pimp. Take your time and pick out a nice pair of shoes that are not too flashy so that you can wear them with almost anything. buy the nice button down shirt because is not so flashy and will blend well with your other outfits therefore allowing you to wear it 2-3 times over a 3 weeks period. or Puma family. whatever fits your current lifestyle better. I like to compare clothes shopping to food shopping because when you go food-shopping you are always thinking of ways to maximize what you currently have in your fridge and cabinets. Same thing with clothes shopping except you are constantly looking for things that will add to and extend your existing wardrobe.COM
Clothes Shopping is like Food Shopping Remember while shopping at the store to keep your current wardrobe inventory in mind. They tend to stay in style through all of the different fashion cycles.

Split up the money so you spend around $25 a week on say a new shirt or pair of pants. When you are out shopping. Just because an item of clothing is nice and looks good in the store isn’t enough to buy it. then they typically go home and realize that these new items don’t fit in to well with their current wardrobe and get frustrated. I will talk about how to constantly increase your wardrobe at a moderate pace so you don’t go broke and how to “peacock” (stand out) with items no matter what your age or profession. In the previous two articles we systematically removed clothes you no longer wear and then preceded with a plan to kick start your new wardrobe with a small amount of money. Most men will go shopping for clothes every once in a while and just buy a few things that look good. If you follow this method when buying clothes you will have more outfits than you can think of as time goes on. You can up the monthly allowance if you like. Systems and Schedules The easiest way to keep a nice wardrobe going is to build it in baby steps. You have to keep that food shopping mentality I talked about in the previous article of the series. keep mental notes of what you already have in your closet. In this part of the series.Social Superstar
And always remember to keep in mind what you already have including what you buy during this process. but I would still suggest only buying 1-2 items at a time. Constantly be buying things that will fit in with what you already have. but in the beginning keep thinks basic using solid colors and common styles. As your wardrobe gets bigger you will be able to throw in more “loud” items. There is a time and a place to add a “peacock” aspect to it and I will explain how in the final part of the series. With this $100 I would be looking to buy 3 to 4 new items a month. adding new items one at a time. “Pea cocking” without looking like an idiot

Part 3 This is the 3rd and final installment of the How to Redo Your Wardrobe series. This means you have to go shopping 3-4 times a month.

208
. You don’t want to be the person wearing all the different trends because you will look like you are trying too hard. make sure that they can fit in with what you currently have and aren’t so crazy that when they fade out. you have to go with the trend at times to “peacock” and demonstrate that you know what’s up… When you buy trendy items. if you don’t already. the playing field is open to almost anything in the style department. but still ugly as sh*t. Having these “staple” items will allow you to evolve with the trends while maintaining a nice foundation for your entire wardrobe. Great examples of this were certain brands and t-shits when I was young. As for the young professionals out there. Have plenty of solid shirts and pants that you can use when wearing your “trendy” item(s). Just remember that “staple” items are needed no matter what. I will break this down in 2 separate categories. BUM Equipment was huge when I was in HS and that sh*t is UGLY! Then there were those heat activated fabrics that changed colors when you touched it. The problem with this concept is that everyone is different and therefore has to “peacock” in a different way. he he What I am basically saying is that as a young person with no job.. Wherever you are in this phase it doesn’t matter. great for Kino now that I think of it.. Styles with young adults change so quickly that I suggest keeping things simple and looking for some trendy items. If you are constantly buying this trendy crap then soon you will have a wardrobe like a clown.COM

It is true that some suit jackets can double as a sport coat. women will notice the smallest pattern and look…after all they addicted to shoes themselves. but over all I feel they are a little less dressy than the laced styles besides the fact they are getting played out. Instead look for cool fabrics to peacock. it will either look cheap or you will only be able to wear it once in a while. Shoes Shoes are unique part of any man’s wardrobe and they can say a little or a lot about you. Don’t worry. This is almost the same principle that I talked about earlier with the sport coat fabrics. There are a ton of different fabrics for sport coats and the more you shop the more you will discover. but this situation is pretty rare due to the material and look of suits. Funny thing is that you see guys wearing jackets from their bar mitzvah’s and communion’s with a hoodie and it looks stupid. I prefer laces to slip on types because I feel they just look better.

Return of a Pick-Up Artist (Part 2)

11:45 am The day began with a Powerbar. vitamins. 12:50 pm I decide that I do not want to spend my Memorial Day weekend with the kind of people who drink alone at the town pub. We chat for a few minutes. I call Gloria. But you only got her number last night Bobby. He is almost 70. I quickly scratch that idea. The truth is when you get good at this shit you start writing your own rules. He is finally back from Vegas. I can hear the people out there saying. I wonder how she is going to be in bed later.

Here is a hint. 3:35 pm I have been doing a good job juggling the conversation between PG and R. Then I steer it back to neutral topics: work. if you want to fuck her the first night. 2:30 pm I pick up Gloria. 3:00 pm I have been in the car with her for thirty minutes and I have to say it's been a pretty pleasant experience. unless she's a complete slut. I test her out and see if I can elevate it even further. I get directions for some land up in Warren County that he wants me to do an appraisal on. maybe even fuck her in the woods. Here is another hint. the first guy she kissed. She's got to be in her late twenties. Each time I test her she bites and brings the conversation even racier. Every time I bring it back to R. what celebrities we'd like to screw and just when I sense the conversation has gotten too racy I bring it back to PG. For your first date with a girl don’t go the standard coffee. It's sexy though. when we lost our virginity. Gloria is taking the ride with me up to Warren to help me assess Phil's uncle's land. No. pop culture gossip and just when the conversation hits a lull I throw out things like: coworkers who fuck. family. Unfortunately we were about a minute from the land. The older the girls the more willing she is too elevate the conversation. if I blew my load this early the rest of the day would be a waste. I did not fret. Soon she is describing the first time she gave a guy road head. dinner. Every time I guide the conversation to edgier topics she bites right away. There is a slight hint of age twinkling in her eyes. Maybe even thirty.Social Superstar
Penelope. She's got long wavy brown hair. Tell her you brought her a gift back. you’ll have to be a little more creative. I had put quite a few down at Bob's party and was a little scared I might get a surprise when she answered the door. Just kind of has that natural no make-up kind of beauty. Younger girls tend to be more naive when it comes to talking about this kind of

Who knows. friends. She had a little bit of the hippy chick thing going on and I thought this would be a good way to get her juices flowing.

stuff. The older ones eat this shit up. I contemplated going for a naturalgirls. I don't mean be a meathead. The look in Gloria's eyes when we see the sheep let me know that the juices are officially flowing. although this is only to make this trip seem a little more important. I wonder if there is an abandoned bed in there. So instead of giving up when I saw the bars over the door. There will be a time for that later.The Best of TSBMAG. 4:15 pm A pack of wild sheep stroll in from the field in the back of the property. but ultimately decided against it. I start snapping some pictures of them.com photo shoot. Caveman type shit. Rising higher lower. I put my clip board down. Displaying raw power. Boards are over a door. That way all these boring pictures of barren land will have something interesting to look at. Some girls just get so damn turned on by nature. Use random opportunities like this to display some alpha male characteristics. It took a few times and knocked quite a bit of wind out of me. This early in the day I was not going to take that chance. There is a tiny lake. Hands were getting left places longer. but she said it with the slightest hint of sarcasm. actually. but we got in that house/barn. I made it a point to bust the fucking door in.
242
. Here is a hint. Like I'm a real professional under my bad boy exterior. The Kino has begun. “Oh look how cute and professional you look. She sees through my bullshit and calls me out again.” Which was actually the look I was going for. 4:00 pm Phil's uncle's land is pretty barren. She suggests that we check out the inside of the barn/house. I grabbed her hand and we walked around for awhile. I walk around taking pictures. All the signs of an adventurous afternoon were there. I was not shy about touching her but now the touching was turning flirty. you just have to do those certain things women like to see men do. suggesting something like that could freak a girl out if the rapport isn’t as strong as you imagined. I jot things down. All day hands were always brushing against each other. There was a bed but it was decrepit looking and I'd have preferred the floor. I pulled out the camera. and have very little tolerance for banal talk.

To our surprise though three hawklike birds came flying at our heads. she's not going to sleep with you tonight because she likes you or because you won't respect her in the morning. My racing heart and freaked out gestures definitely subtracted from some of that alpha male I had displayed earlier. I got behind her and guided her toward the door. Another hint. She left because if the birds hadn’t of come she was about to do something I probably wouldn’t respect her for tomorrow. She grabbed a hold of me. I joked with her saying that someone was behind the door waiting for us. as planned. Don't respond with anything. Oh well. but don't make the mistake of joining in the conversation because it won't lead anywhere good. I kept nudging her toward the room chatting her up about the crazy ax man behind the door. 5:30 pm We grab a quick bite to eat at a small Italian cafe near her house. Once you are at this stage use any excuse you can to get her touching you. that I found myself a little flattered by the adulation. What can I tell you? Luckily she was even more freaked. 4:45 pm We are in the car on our way home. Give her time to think about how cool you are and a whole bunch of other reasons to justify fucking you later. such a sexy at ease way. She is looking at me hard. I probably wouldn’t have. Let them rid themselves of the guilt. I ask her if she doesn’t like my hair. She tells me I should let her cut my hair. She's right. Don't always feel the need to keep the conversation going. We finally pushed the door open basically falling into it. She gives thumbs down. The silence is not uncomfortable. There is less talking then on the way up. I am genuinely enjoying
243
. just kidding. But she would like to cut my hair. It was definitely a buzz kill. I have a fucking fear of birds. Then she laughs and says. I ask her if she left because of the birds. Ignore it. If the rapport is good enough you can enjoy the silence together.Social Superstar
I saw a room in the back that I decided would be the room. She has gone googly eyed on me. I don’t say anything though. A lot of times girls are just saying this shit to make themselves feel better about what they are about to do. Our hands are in the middle of the table intertwined. She says sort of. when a girl throws out a comment like. Normally this look scares me. She kept getting closer and closer to me until I could feel the warmth from under her jeans. but she just has this confidence about her. She quickly pulled me out of the room and out of the barn. She runs her hand through my hair.

She is sexually massaging my scalp. I have towel choked around my neck and a restricting smock on. 6:15 pm I am sitting in a chair at her salon. I wonder if I should try to hide this fact or leave it out in the open and see if she catches it. In the car ride I bring the conversation back into R territory. when I was a little kid I used to get so turned on when the shampoo girls breast would brush against me during the wash that I couldn’t resist the idea of sitting in a chair watching her in the mirror. She keeps touching the water and asking me if it's warm enough. I watch hair falling off my head. and is basically manager of the place.COM
her company. I decide fuck it. But the bait worked and she telling me about a scene in another movie that turned her on. She runs water over my head. Just thought I'd throw that in there so that you don’t think the only thing on my mind is sex. I tell her I have a foot fetish. I am aroused. I can't tell if she realized I was kidding. 5:50 pm We are in the car on the way to her salon for a haircut. I came from that scalp massage. I ask her if she gets turned on by the toe polish scene in Bull Durham. She leaned into me and a titty brushed against me. Now Gloria's massage was not going to make me cum. Yes.The Best of TSBMAG. but it did make me pitch a tent with my smock as I got up to walk over the other chair for the haircut. No joke. so no one will mind. This is not as sexual as I imagined it would be. She leans my head back into the sink and I wince when my neck touches the cold stone of the sink. I want to open my eyes and look up at her. This rates up there with a scalp massage I got from a pro in a termas in Rio a few years back. The place is closed but she has a key. While I'm perfectly happy with my present haircut. I wonder if it will make things awkward if I hate my hair cut. and don't adjust. She asks me if I want a pedicure at the salon. Bobby is all around pleased with this one and gives her the Bobby Rio seal of approval. I mean how am I supposed to act if she really fucks it up? My attention is quickly diverted from my haircut to the mirror where I watch as all of her attention is focused on my head. 6:17 pm The hair cut has begun. I appreciate the enthusiasm in which she is doing
244
. I look up and she is soaping up her hands. Finally her fingers start running through my hair.

Which makes me wonder if I should tip her when she's done? I decide she will get a tip. She pulls me into her. I watch her wiggle out of them. Make her feel like the luckiest girl in the world to hear it. When you say something like that to a girl. She can't pause for a minute. If you are uncomfortable reading about my sexual exploits you probably shouldn’t continue. I smell her neck for a second and then turn her face toward me and start kissing her. say it with all the confidence you can muster up. people can see in. I have no fucking clue what time it is pm I stand up and push Gloria down into the chair. 6:19 pm You are so fucking sexy. she suggests we go into the back room. Just when I think I'm going to have to overcome another obstacle. In the back room there is a recliner chair where they do waxing and stuff. I am extremely turned on. So I eat. She says we can't do it here. She is extremely turned on. I help her with her pants. We stare at each other for a second. We are making out hard. I get on top of her and am kind of grinding into her. My mouth goes back in forth from her mouth to her neck. One good compliment can melt away any defense she might have still had up. She's got the trademark hippie girl patch. She turns me over and is practically ripping my jeans off of me. She goes down on me and I am enjoying it way too much. Just enough muff to keep with the natural girl image. and then I pull her towards me.Social Superstar
her job. Another hint: That was only the second time I complimented her all
245
. As soon as I say this she drops the scissors. She goes crazy. My hands are running up and down her legs. I spin myself around on the chair so that I'm facing her midsection. I do the lean back please me lean and await my reward. And then the whole thing. I sense that she has come from the oral. No panties!!!! God I love hippie girls. I pull her head up and tell her again how fucking sexy she is. as they are fond memories. The unbuckling begins. At this point I am about to indulge myself in the details. I tell her and really mean it. but trimmed up enough to still look edible. I tease with crotch rubs. My mouth goes down to her belly button area. I lay her down on the chair.

night. 8:30 pm I drop Gloria off. This is truly some of the best sex I've had in awhile. If in a week you decide you're not into them it is easier to start blowing them off. Trust me words are not necessary.The Best of TSBMAG. Use compliments sparingly so that when you finally give them they will be regarded higher. Lay there. But you really have to wait to see where you want to go with this before you start getting so close. I wiggle my boxer briefs from around my ankles stand up and push her down on the chair. As much as I am into Gloria she's a little old for daddy and probably won't make the cut. cuddle like you're really into (it helps when you are) and be fucking silent. We are both breathless. There is a glorious finale with an extremely satisfying cum. Hint: Guys even if she's the fuck off the century don't get all gushy telling her how good it was or how much you like her. But we'll see…

. I easily could have spent the rest of the night with her. I know some guys would have asked her to spend the night. put your arm around. I am inside of her now. I was really enjoying the time with her.

The party was less than spectacular. and whispered to each other that “if all else fails we take her upstairs and tag team her. Still in a bit of a depression I proceeded to drink myself silly.hungry. My skills and confidence were at an all time low. and had just been dumped by the girl I thought I was going to marry..

I was in the worst drought of my life at the time. Although I tried to stay away from frat houses as I was trying to “make it in the real world” the offer was just too tempting.” A few minutes later I noticed a chick that was cute (in relation to the other pigs at the party) and I went over and started conversing with her. I stalked her out like the hungry wolf that I was. At one point we were standing together sipping keg beer from our red cups when this sloppy fat chick starts trying to dance with us.. When she didn’t return. In my drunken state I assumed we hit it off pretty well. willing to fuck anything. I mean licking my chops. I found her upstairs making out with one of the younger frat brothers. She excused herself to go to the bathroom. The mixer was with a subpar sorority and the talent pool was slim. I did the walk of shame back downstairs. Jake was in no better shape than me.
247
. But worst of all… I just fucking need to blow a load!!! Some of my old college buddies were having a little get together at their house and invited me. I was fresh out of college. At this point there wasn’t anybody downstairs so I just plopped on the couch and waited for Jake so we could leave. We jokingly sandwiched her and danced a little. Unfortunately my game was pretty bad at this point and I just kept talking about nonsense and wound up boring her to death. What was left of my confidence was officially shattered.

But I started dry heaving uncontrollably. I was just with her behind the shed outside. I am not going to lie and say she had any redeeming qualities. These girls happened to be from my ex girlfriends sorority. I don’t know if it was the 12 red cups of Bud Ice.

. or the realization that I just made out with a piglet three minutes after she swallowed my buddies cum…. swallowed and everything” Jake tells me. 6 years later Jake is still asking me how his babies taste. I told the piglet I would be right back and headed out to my car to grab a condom. I’ve got the fat girl inside half naked and ready to fuck” I tell him. But I kept kissing her and slowly slipping my hand down her pants. I may as well finish the deal. Stroked her hair.COM
A couple minutes later the fat girl from earlier walks in the front door. I looked at this as a gift from god. She didn’t. “Yo. I figured all my dignity was gone. As luck would have it… the door opens again and a handful of girls walk into the house. and finally went outside and pulled the trigger… blowing junks all over the front porch. She gave me a killer blowjob. Once they left. They looked at me in shock when they saw me lying on the couch with the piglet. And a minute later I was lying on a dirty couch making out with her. She had breath that made me want to puke. the fact I got caught on the couch with a fatty by my ex girlfriend’s whole sorority. As I was walking outside Jake was walking back in the house. I immediately got her on the couch. “If you’re still down we can do her porn style” “Dude. They were kind enough to head upstairs without making conversation with me.The Best of TSBMAG. Told her she was sexy. I just put my head down in shame.

and my performance was less than stellar. where I slowly got drunk enough to realize I was wasting a perfectly good hotel room. and we're not talking about the sweet innocent type. The rehearsal after party ended pretty early which left a lot of time to kill at the hotel we were all staying at. we didn’t see much of Chris anymore. Tammy was an eighteen year old senior in high school…. She was dressed high school whorish as usual… and got quite a few stares from the families of the bride and groom. The insurance policy came in the form of a pill of Viagra I scored off a friend for “extra measure. Since Mike and I didn’t exactly conform to the couple’s moral standards. Chris gave me a look. we wound up in his wedding party… The night before the wedding we all got pretty drunk after the rehearsals. as Chris wanted us in close proximity to prevent any debauchery that would have had us over sleep the morning nuptials. Not fall down humiliate yourself drunk. just drunk enough to make some bad decisions. The previous attempt at fucking Tammy’s ridiculously tight pussy left me with no alternative than to secure an insurance policy for the next time. It was a little surprising because our friend Chris had basically been “born again” after dating a very Christian girl for the last couple years. A handful of us met at the hotel lobby bar.” The restaurant was a close knit group and I had a reputation to uphold… I figured I could get Stoute out of the room for a good hour while I gave Tammy the pounding she craved. I had fucked her once before.. Nevertheless. Tammy was a hostess at a restaurant where I was bar tending at the time. Mike and I were sitting in the lobby when Tammy arrived.” This only made her want me more. Against my better judgment I scanned my phone for some tail to call. Mike and I were sharing a room on the same floor as the groom’s family. I stopped at Tammy.. I actually came before I got inside her… I caught my load in my hand and then pushed her off me and told her it was “too soon. but I was too

I just sat there waiting for Mike to leave so that I could get my grubby hands on Tammy. He casually tries to grab it without them seeing. Mike makes a running dive toward the toilet. It is our friend Chris. The next thing I know Mike is barreling past them headed towards the bathroom. They tell us that if he hadn’t been a wise ass. and pretend we don’t smell anything. I peeked through the little hole and saw a man in a suit standing next to a bald security guard. The bald guy takes the bag and demands for all three of to sit on the bed. so Mike could roll a “cigar” that he and Tammy could smoke. while the three of just stared at each other in disbelief. but the bald security guard catches him. there is another knock on the door.

He asks “Whose duffel bag is this?” I raise my hand. We pass various members of Chris’s family on our long walk to the elevator. He holds the little blue pill in the air and wants to know who has a prescription for an erectile dysfunction medication. I apologize and promise that I will never ever see Tammy again. he’s going to leave the police out of this. begs the hotel manager to not call the cops. The bald guy wants to know why a 26 year old guy is carrying around a pill of Viagra. He then tells the bald guy to search the room to make sure we don’t have anything else in the room. But he then says “I can’t leave this girl in the room with you two in good conscious. The hotel manager tells them the whole story with all the gory details.” His solution is to call Tammy’s parents and have them come to the hotel to pick her up. None of us say anything. Lucky Mike gets to stay in the room. The manager tells us he’s not going to ruin our friend’s wedding just because we’ve decided to be fuck ups. I have no answer for either one of them.

Day 5 Being High Status
Written by Mack Tight Originally Published: 06/17/2008
I was reading Bobby’s recent post “Never Show Emotion When She Walks Away” and all I could think was “could that dude make it any more obvious that he was low status”? Let me explain… When you think of “high status males” who do you think of? Donald Trump… George Clooney… Kobe Bryant… your favorite politician… Now if any of these guys had an attractive girl make out with them and run off would they set around and pout like a tit baby about it? Fuck no… They are flooded by a large quantity of attractive women in their life… and even if you temporarily took away their money. Not only will landing a guy like that make her life better. it will make the life of her kids better and even make her friends jealous and envious. cars and made them wear a disguise.

There was a term called a “common” for sports cards of a player no one wanted. Supply and demand is not unique to women and men either… Why is gas $4 a gallon? Supply and demand! Why are diamonds so expensive? Supply and demand! (Thanks to DeBeers) It is like your status is a publicly traded stock when you go into a club and your every action makes it go up and down in value.Social Superstar
So how can women sense your status? They can sense your supply versus your demand… If you are clingy and needy it shows to them that you have a low demand and a high supply. If on the other hand you don’t give a shit when dealing with a hot girl you’re showing your supply is low and your demand is high. “Commons” were ummm… common… …don’t be a common! The guy in Bobby’s story showed to everyone in the bar and most importantly to the girl that he was a “common” by gawking at her and pouting. Now similarly. Now if a guy’s supply is high and demand low and attractive women is the commodity. Here’s another analogy from my childhood… When I was a kid I collected sports cards. This raises his status to them. It is quite obvious that an attractive girl kissing him was a “big deal” and a rare occurrence in his life… That made it quite obvious to everyone that he was “low status”. the attractive women are going to have a harder time landing this guy’s business. if you go to a car dealership to deal on a car. you always want to give them the impression that there are other dealerships that are in the hunt for your business…

For example. I even had some girls who BUSTED on me just like the guys did but I was able to turn the tables and get attraction from them. I recently bought a bright green Paul Frank t-shirt with Julius the monkey on it. Now let me switch things up and touch on some community concepts that hit on the “high status” point… Peacocking Do you think wearing a pair of Sketchers. High status men do not care what others think.The Best of TSBMAG. What can I say.COM
If you go to a job interview you want to give the interviewers the impression that there are many companies of courting you… …you are living in a world of opportunities and abundance. I bet everyone of those douche bags who were busting on me went out and bought the same shirt the next day… …but I have a feeling they had no luck with it because they could not properly handle the reactions. I want to fit in and I’m scared to stand out”! That’s what “peacocking” is all about… having the balls to stand out… …and I’m not talking about even wearing goggles and a fuzzy hat. some like dogs and cats but I LOVE MONKEYS! I had guys busting on me about it but I could HANDLE it. Always give the impression that you have options in your life even if you don’t. Negging “Negging” is defined as saying something to an attractive girl that subtly shows her that you are not caught in a hypnotic trance over her beauty. some old carpenter pants and a boring t-shirt of your local major sports team screams “I’m high status”? To me it screams “I don’t care how I look.
282
. I had women cold approaching ME about the shirt and I went to town from there.

Many people who are new to the community do not understand how to calibrate proper negging. Maybe they’ll talk about music or pop culture. Instead he is probably going to vibe with her about cool things. VERY subtle comments that could be taken as a backhanded compliment. It may sound mean but women WANT to come off their pedestals to meet a high value man like yourself! Giving/Taking Value I made a post a while back by Mehow about giving value by being the value. She is accustomed to being put on a pedestal by guys staring at her. He might bring up some stories about something crazy that happened at his last tour stop in New York City. It is not like you are calling the girl a “bitch” or saying she is “ugly”. Do you think a rock star that is in town for a tour is going to barrage a girl he just met with a bunch of interview questions? What’s your name? What’s your age? Where are you from? What is your job? HELL NO! For him to ask such personal questions to a girl with them both knowing he will be in a different city the next day would be silly. buying her drinks. some examples involve VERY.Social Superstar
Calling it “negging” was a bad move because people outside of the community assume it is just about putting down women.

. take Mystery’s “its funny how your nose twitches when you talk” or Neil Strauss’ routine of picking a piece of lint off a girl’s shirt. Basically you are showing her that in a sea of low value ass-kissing chumps you are the one prized high value man who is accustomed to interacting with girls of her level of beauty on a routine basis. For example. endlessly approaching her and showering her with complements… …but you quickly knock her off the pedestal to defuse her defenses. It does a good job of differentiating how needy and high status guys communicate with women. You need to differentiate “negging” from being an obnoxious asshole. Sure.

ONLY if the interaction progresses to the point that it EXCEEDS his normal standards does he care to learn the back of baseball card stats of a girl’s personal life. They begin by building comfort and attraction by telling interesting high value stories (such as the rock star’s crazy night at his NYC tour stop).The Best of TSBMAG. So show them that you are high status from the start and you will make yourself the exception and not the norm. It’s casual. The key is that quality women only have limited opportunities to interact with truly high status men. Mack Tight

Guys often interact with beautiful women by asking endless personal questions and they usually never end up seeing or talking to the girl EVER AGAIN anyway. so it is completely worthless! High status men want to test women before they even care about their personal life. So there you go… I hope I did a good job of explaining high status to you. A high status man has many options with quality women just as a quality woman has many options with low status men. I also hope my examples gave you some ideas on how you can raise your status to women even higher.

Once you’ve acknowledged what she has given you it is alright to relate the story to yourself. and coworkers. and then practice acknowledging the hooks. Because now she knows that you’re on the same playing field. She knows that you’re not superficially trying to relate… This is a conversational strategy you should take on no matter who you are talking to. Many of us have old habits that we’re going to have to break. If you get in this habit you will naturally become a better conversationalist. Practice picking out the hooks these people are giving you. Instead of waiting for attractive girls to practice this new conversational strategy I would suggest practicing it with your friends.

Bobby Rio asked me to shed some light on building comfort with women. which is even higher. you will probably want to lean more toward indirect game and playful teasing and insults. Or to put it another way. If your body language. sure you can compliment a woman upon first meeting her. This is just a sampler of techniques you can use to build comfort with women and isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list by any means. it’s always better to start in the beginning with a little more indirect game and use playful negging and teasing to bring down your target’s status in relation to your status.

Chat with a cute bank teller while she’s handling business for you. pat themselves on the back for it. When you do these daily conversations in the beginning you’re just aiming to get used to the banter and to reduce the anxiety you get from having conversations with women. Make small talk with the Starbucks barista when waiting for your coffee. It’s not enough to make a note on what doesn’t work for the sake of avoiding repeating the mistake. In fact. Start a conversation every day with a different attractive woman. You’d run drills. For some reason a lot of guys make a joke or tell a story that works brilliantly in a conversation. A cramped subway car is an opportunity. The point is to get comfortable starting conversations with women and to get comfortable with the occasional rejection. You’d never do that. and forget to ever repeat that joke or story again. Imagine how off your game would be. A woman sitting next to you on a bus reading a book you’ve already read is an opportunity. Then go for a minute. the more you realize that it won’t kill you and that

Imagine how nervous you’d be. You’d take shot after shot after shot in your spare time. The whole goal is to get comfortable talking to women you don’t know. you don’t have to get a number or pick a woman up. it’s even more important to make notes on what does work so that you can repeat it and fine-tune it. Don’t fall into that trap. You achieve that. If you’re stuck on a long post office line behind an attractive woman.

Women’s defenses tend to be down more in these casual daytime situations than they are in a bar or nightclub where they are more guarded due to being hit on incessantly. You’d do visualization exercises. The same applies for building comfort with women: practice when it doesn’t count and when no one is watching and you’ll be way more confident and perform much better during game time.

And regarding bringing up specific approaches toward sex. this isn’t an exhaustive list when it comes to building comfort. if you never asked about sex at all things could have happened much more spontaneously. If a woman hasn’t built much attraction and comfort with you yet and you ask her what her attitude is about how soon is too soon to have sex. Instead I spent the night fielding angry questions about why guys cheat. who in this case would be you. it wasn’t a great comfort-building conversation. With men. Hope it helps some of you out there. And on her end. women’s attitudes change wildly with their emotional states. why guys fear commitment. You’ll start believing you have no shot of building much comfort anytime soon.

Day 10 Being Funnier – Make it fun!
Written by Barry Kirkey Originally Published: 06/24/2008

Every woman likes a positive man, and often, positivity takes the form of a good sense of humor. The problem with giving anyone advice about how to become funnier, is that humor is universally subjective. Meaning, every culture, sub-culture or individual decides what is funny on their own. Yeah there are exceptions, people can be told by popular media what they think is funny, but you’re not one of those people because you’re reading this article. Here are some things you can do to become funnier, in chronological order: First, find out what you like. A sense of humor is as unique as your own DNA (simile). They are usually a complex combination of joke types, body language, interest in shows/movies, and so forth. This step should normally be a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how so many people dislike comedy. Once you find out what you like, expose yourself to it. Watch those shows and movies that you love. Watch them alone or with friends and family. Learn how to laugh out loud when you watch them, even if you’re by yourself. I would caution you, however, not to “force it down,” meaning if you’re not in the mood to watch a comedy show (sitcoms, late night, etc.) then don’t watch it. If you have the problem of never being in the mood then you need to find out why this is the case. Note: If you’re never in the mood to laugh, you may have other issues that are keeping you down. I suggest you speak to a psychologist, doctor or other professional that can determine why your mood is always down. You might be surprised to learn about what prevents you from doing what you love. This can be something as serious as depression or anxiety. However, it can also mean that you’re still, subconsciously, dealing with unresolved matters in your life (such as, a fight with your dad 6 months ago and you haven’t talked to him since). After enough exposure, you’re ready to take it to the field. Try to avoid copying other jokes directly – those Borat impressions are no longer

Social Superstar

funny, so don’t do them. Unless you’re a naturally funny guy – then you can get away with it, but that’s a whole different article. If you must copy, use a variation of what you’ve learned instead. For example, if you want to do a Seinfeld joke, don’t just start quoting the show. Do your worst and most annoying Seinfeld voice and exaggerate a Seinfeld-type joke as much as you can. Make it ridiculous and unexpected. While all this is going, laugh at your own jokes. Laugh as much as you can and absorb the criticism of others by laughing even more. Here’s why: Laughing is infectious. The more you laugh, the more others around you are likely to laugh as well. Not only that, but let’s consider the whole theory of conditioning by association. If you’re consistently around the same people, doing jokes often, and laughing often, people will associate you with laughter. When this happens, you’ve won the game – you’re known as “the funny guy.” “But Mr. fuckface (me)! How do I use this to get girls!?” Just by statistics, most people end up in quality relationships through other people that you already know (i.e., in the office, friend of a friend or family member). So you get the immediate benefit of being “the funny” guy in your own social circle that way. “But Mr. faggittface (me)! What about girls you don’t know?!” Okay, that’s definitely more difficult, but not impossible. With cold approaches, first impressions are the only thing you have, so make it count. Start off with the best jokes you have, make sure you laugh and you smile. If she looks down on you, make a friendly insult, “wow – someone dropped their funny basket in the toilet today!” and walk on to the next person. If you end up forced into a situation with someone who doesn’t respect your humor then this is particularly challenging, because you can potentially make an enemy without knowing it. Similar to what happened with Darth Vador, it’s difficult to turn someone from being your enemy to your friend, but not impossible. I won’t go into this situation now, because that is a discussion for those who are already polished and comfortable with their own sense of humor… Dun dun dun! Anal.

Day 11 Mastering the Art of Push-Pull and Cocky-Funny
Written by The Asian Rake Originally Published: 06/25/2008

Do You Want Faster and More Powerful Seductions? How the 80/20 Principle applies to Push-Pull and Cocky-Funny? We’ve all heard about the 80/20 principle first developed by Vilfredo Pareto in the context of the distribution of income and wealth. My experience and observations have shown that the 80/20 rule applies just as well to push-pull and cocky-funny. After closely observing naturals who are masters at crazily rapid escalations and seductions, and after a lot of discussions with PUAs who have really tight game, I’ve discovered an important enhancement to the simplistic push-pull and cocky-funny concepts. This small bit of finetuning can shave a lot of time off your seductions and create much stronger, closer emotional connections. Here’s my thesis statement (yes, I’m an academic, lol): If you want to seduce a woman faster and have her more powerfully attracted to you, the optimal mix for a man who already has his fundamentals down (his body language, tonality, and basic inner game) and is interacting with a confident and attractive woman is 80% pull, 20% push. I’m not going to be too strict about the numbers. But more accurately, the optimal combination depends on how good the man’s fundamentals are and how confident the woman is. It’s a continuum with the upper end of the continuum being 80-20 pull-push. My experience has also been that pull-push is best mixed with humor. Plus, the pull and the push are opposite manifestations of cockiness. With push, you are cocky enough to think that you are too good for the girl, so you push her away. With pull, you are cocky enough to think that you are irresistible to her and to women in general, and you want her, so you pull her in. Although there is plenty to say about this combination of push-pull and cocky-funny, I’ll leave that to another article. My focus here is on the
304

Social Superstar

80/20 principle applied to the push-pull dynamic. I’ll assume here that it’s obvious that push-pull is closely connected to cocky-funny. For the classic book on push-pull, see Swingcat’s ebook, Real World Seduction. For cocky-funny, the best authority is David DeAngelo. Check out his ebook, Double Your Dating, and his DVD series, Cocky Comedy. I assume at least familiarity with push-pull and cocky-funny as described in these resources. Christian Hudson and Nick Sparks over at The Social Man are about to release a product that incorporates all the concepts in Swingcat and David D.’s books and then takes it all to another level. Watch at their site for the release. We’re good friends, so I’m a little biased, but you can go over there and check it out for yourself: What I say here is NOT for absolute newbie's, who don’t yet have their fundamentals down (body language, tonality, and basic inner game). If you still don’t know what good BL&T looks, sounds, and feels like, stop reading this and figure that out first. My point here applies to elite game. It’s for guys who want to know what it’s like to live in the top 10%, or higher, of men in this world. That’s not to say this is advanced. It’s just not for beginners. A quickie definition of push-pull straight from the pen of Swingcat: “Push-Pull is whenever you emotionally push a woman away from you and, then, emotionally pull her back in. Each Push creates an emotional space for each Pull.” We’ll be filling this out as we go along. Now let’s unpack the thesis statement. While you can succeed using almost any combination of push and pull (e.g., 80% push-20% pull, 50% push-50% pull), the combination that will generate the fastest seductions and most powerful connections is 80-20 pull-push or in other words, 80% pull-20% push. This is true only if the following also hold: a. The man has good fundamentals (good body language, tonality, tight inner game and is hence non-needy, etc.). This also applies if he is physically attractive or is perceived by the woman to have high social value. b. The woman is unusually attractive in the man’s eyes, and she is confident about her value and attractiveness. This relates to Believability. She needs to be able to be confident enough in her self-worth to accept your advances.
305

The Best of TSBMAG.COM

If both those elements are in place, then the fastest and most powerful route to sex is a mix of 80% pull-20% push. [CAVEAT: If the man only has average fundamentals and the woman is only of average confidence in her own attractiveness and value, then the optimal mix is further down the continuum and closer to 50-50 pushpull. This is because pulling a woman closer to you emotionally is only effective when you already have a basic level of attraction from the woman. Of course, we all know that this kind of attraction is largely independent of one’s physical appearance. Over 90% of this kind of attraction is attributable to body language and tonality alone. That’s why I call these the fundamentals. Your attitude and outlook are also crucial to pulling off the right BL&T, so I include inner game as a factor for the sake of completeness.] Pushing a woman away is effective when a woman looks at you and doesn’t expect you to be cocky. It throws her off and is hence funny. It’s like when a precocious child talks like an adult, using mature and sophisticated vocabulary, sentence structure, etc. It’s unexpected and incongruent with the kid’s image, and hence, kind of funny, and if done right, it’s admirable. Now imagine a 50 year old, sophisticated-looking man talking the same way. It’s not funny anymore. It’s just normal and expected. Similarly, when a below average looking guy uses a lot of push cockyfunny, talking as if he’s too good for her and using humorous sarcasm, it’s attractive because the woman begins to wonder, “How can this guy be so cocky? He must have something going for him that I can’t see yet. I’m interested.” And because it’s done in a comedic way, she’s not offended, but rather, intrigued. Now if a guy who has his fundamentals down (good BL&T), a goodlooking guy, or a guy perceived to have high value starts to push her away emotionally, she’s not intrigued. Why? Because it’s obvious why this guy is so cocky. He’s good-looking, high-value, or has an attractive personality. It’s not funny anymore because it’s expected and congruent with his image. He just comes across cocky. For a guy like this to use cocky-funny, he has to really emphasize the humor and really cut down on the cocky part.
306

Social Superstar

Most people overlook the fact that David D. himself acknowledged this in one of his newsletters: "If you’re a pretty good looking guy, you might turn down the cocky, and turn up the funny. Women perceive good-looking guys who act cocky as MAJOR PLAYERS, and too much cocky too soon can backfire on you.” More accurately, this isn’t just true for guys who are good-looking. If your fundamentals are strong, or you’re perceived as high-value, then it applies just as well to you. It’s the push dynamic that makes these high-value or good-looking guys come across as too unattainable. For guys like this, it’s best to use the pull dynamic more often and save the push dynamic for that 20% of dramatic contrast. And obviously, when a guy with good fundamentals, attractive appearance, or high social value is perceived as a “major player,” it is very bad for his Believability. You can do it the opposite way, of course. You can do mainly push and just a little pull, like 80% push and 20% pull. Or you can be very cocky and only a little funny. Sure, you can get success that way, too. But for the most part, if your fundamentals are already strong, then: 1) You can get much faster seductions by pulling her in more often than you can by pushing her away. 2) You can get the girl to feel a deeper emotional bond with you by pulling more often than pushing. Here’s why: 1. If your fundamentals are good, then you will be a relatively DOMINANT, powerful, and confident man. Hence, girls (and most people in general) will naturally feel like following your lead. So when you tell a girl to sit down, she will feel a strong social and emotional pull to sit down. When you’re emotionally pulling a girl in by telling her to kiss you, she will have to work extra hard to resist. Most girls like a strong, dominant, powerful, confident guy, and many girls have the fantasy of “being taken” by such a man. Any resistance they give to such a man is just token.

Thus, if you already have good fundamentals (BL&T and basic inner game), and you want to shave massive amounts of time off your seductions, you’re better off pulling the girl in more frequently than pushing her away because the chances are good she will give in more often than not. Ah, but Asian Rake, when you push a girl away, doesn’t she want to pull you in? Isn’t that the whole point of pushing her away? So you can get her to chase you? Yes, to a certain extent, this is true. That’s why you SHOULD STILL PUSH. That’s the all-important 20%. In fact, by pulling most of the time, when you do finally push her away, it’ll feel that much more powerful to her. If you’re a dominant guy, girls will feel pressure to follow your orders, and unless she’s very dominant herself, chances are good that she will NOT pull you in return every time you push her away. Chances are good that if you are a dominant man, when you push her further away, she will follow your lead and remain further away. Assuming the pushes and pulls are of about equal emotional intensity (that’s one variable I’m leaving out here), if you PULL more often than not, she might resist you at first, but then because you’re dominant, she’ll follow your lead and move closer to you emotionally and physically. If you PUSH more often than not, she might resist you at first, but then because you’re a dominant guy, she’ll follow your lead and move further away from you emotionally and physically. Sure you can generate attraction with most combinations of push-pull. But what’s faster to sex? When she’s emotionally and physically closer to you, or when she’s emotionally and physically farther from you? It should be obvious. This is how the best naturals I’ve seen get bathroom lays in less than 15 minutes. It’s pull-pull-pull-pull-PUSH-pull-pull-pull-PUSH-pull-pull-pull to the bathroom. 2.

Day 12 Body Language 101
Written by Bobby Rio Originally Published:06/26/2008
The first thing you need to accept about your body language is that right now you’re probably completely unaware of the mistakes that you are making.
Body Language mistakes
1. 2. Subconsciously people slouch because they are timid and don’t want attention on them. Doing any of these things immediately screams that you are not comfortable in your present situation. Touching Your Face. Slouching over is a way of keeping a low profile. Less confident people tend to look down a lot. They do this because it is a way of avoiding making a connection with someone. but you’re missing out on opportunities to connect with other human beings. Their insecurity eats away at them and they feel forced to constantly be moving their hands. They are afraid that if they catch eye contact with someone they will be forced to talk or smile or do something else beyond their comfort zone.
313
. 3. By avoiding eye contact with people not only are you giving off a low status vibe. you will be making it possible to accept the new habits I will talk about later. Some people will rub their chin or neck. When people feel insecure or nervous they start to have trouble sitting still. Hopefully by being consciously aware of these mistakes you can catch yourself in the act. It portrays an image that you are socially awkward and unable to properly socialize. others will juggle the loose change in their pocket. other people with run their hand through their hair.

Habit 2: Get in the habit of walking around with your head up and your
neck straight. Don’t
slouch and look sloppy. You need to keep your face free of this stress. and which guys will fail.. When we tend to get nervous we tense up in the jaw. If someone else is talking to you. Habit 7: Take up space when you sit. This is especially true of your facial
muscles. but don’t be afraid to get comfortable. In the beginning you will need to constantly be checking yourself.. While doing the talking you should be holding eye contact for the majority of the time. A smile displays a positive energy that is infectious. A quick glance around a room can tell you which guys are going to succeed with the women they are talking to. It can also give off the impression that you’re uncomfortable with the way you look and are trying to hide your face. If you’re talking to a group of people switch eye contact up between the different members of the group… but always be holding it with someone. If you think she can’t hear you… talk louder. as they appear to have nothing to offer. hold eye contact about 50% of the time. Spread yourself out a bit. The unsuccessful guys are the ones bent over leaning forward. Holding Your Face up with Your Hand.COM
4. Habit 5: Push your chest out a bit and pull your shoulders back.
Habit 4: Smile often. The successful guys are usually relaxed leaning away from the girl. Create a little game with yourself to remind yourself to pay attention to your posture. The
idea is to take up some space. causing her to move toward him. These are not the kind of people other people want to interact with. 5.

Body Language Habits of the Alpha Male
This second part of this lesson is designed to improve your body language and replace the negative habits you may have been displaying. This is another habit you will have to check often to avoid falling back into the old habit of slouching.
Habit 1: Make it a practice to hold eye contact with everyone that you
meet.
Habit 3: Keep your muscles relaxed.
Habit 6: You should keep your feet about as far apart as your shoulders. Leaning Forward to Talk to Someone.

This is especially true when walking through a bar… you never want to give off the vibe that you’re looking for the cool place to be. and become comfortable with the tension that comes from silence. Habit 9: Avoid making sudden hyper gestures. and feel like they need to talk because they’re nervous. squeaky voices that convey the message: “I’m not confident… I have no self esteem”. It takes time and determination to break a bad habit and replace it with a new one. Learn how to speak with a deeper voice. If you want to attract beautiful women. Most guys talk too much.

Day 14 How to Properly Tease a Woman
Written by Brad Howard Originally Published: 06/30/2008
Before I start. In fact. complicated.

Would I RECOMMEND that you try it if you’re a rookie at the whole “teasing” game? Um… HELL NO! And here’s why.Social Superstar
I like to use self depreciating humor to set up teasing. For instance. It might work for some. “You know. The WHOLE POINT of teasing is to make the woman FEEL GOOD by being around you. It’s meant to be fun. but I don’t usually use it. So. everything is working for you tonight EXCEPT those shoes… where did you get those?” Is there a way to say this so that it works? Absolutely. she’s likely to be playful back. “Ah ha! I KNEW you were some type of shoe guru. “Setting up TEASE BAIT” Teasing is no fun if only one person is doing it. To which you could say something like. Teasing works BEST with women that you already know… or that you’ve just met through a circle of friends (especially if you have a bit of notoriety amongst the group for being a fun guy). you might hear someone tell you to say. I’ll throw out some self-depreciating humor as BAIT to get the ball rolling. many times. if you come from a place of strength. and ask a woman “I need your opinion on something… and be BRUTAL… what do you think of these shoes. She feels uncomfortable now… and the conversation takes a negative tone. Don’t use teasing to “knock” a woman down.
319
. If you’re playful. Here’s the thing about teasing though. Where did you get your special talent (smile)?” And that’s just for opening someone up. A woman’s ego is like a glass house and teasing in this way COULD be like throwing a ROCK into it. that I DON’T condone. I just picked ‘em up and I always seem to screw this up… ha-ha”. For instance.

but they are just too scared to tell anyone about them. but just remember that I KNOW (point to head). POWERFUL STUFF here. So you say: “Yeah. You don’t have to keep beating around the bush. if you get on one knee and smile really pretty… I MIGHT even say yes…” Her: “I AM NOT!” You: “It’s okay. confident guy… you don’t take yourself so seriously) So maybe I’ll tell a fun story that people can laugh at (like the time I locked myself out of my hotel room NAKED and had to walk down to the desk NAKED to get another key) and then ACCUSE people of having similar stories. just say so.

Nelly… I know you’re just trying to get me drunk so you can take me home and do dirty things to me. Let’s say that you want to ask a person out on a date (bland. I get it… Look. yeah I know… ha-ha). Who knows. all you’re doing is ACCUSING the other person of trying to do something that YOU want to happen. the reason this works is because people (women) can see how SECURE you are with yourself because MOST men would NEVER tell a story in which THEY were the one being made fun of. “The Accusation Tease” This one is FUN.

Missy… (whisper) it’s gonna take more than one (smile) Guys. we now have to employ our most SECRET WEAPON… “The Tickle Tease” NOTHING changes the tone of a conversation faster than some “good ole” tickling. well. Start slow at first. you’re a guy and that’s what guys want. Using the accusation tease is a SURE way to get her to give you a “love tap”… or punch on the arm… or a light shove. What would you do if I lost my hair all of the sudden. feeling me up already and we just got here… geez…” “The Frame-Banging Tease” Okay. keep in mind that these ARE NOT serious conversations. They are tongue in check and playful. Here’s what you do: Her: “Man. we can go on and on with this but I hope you get my drift.” (You’re doing this to show her that it’s CRAZINESS for her to feel like she’s feeling… naturally. would that mean you wouldn’t hang out any more? I TOTALLY expected more out of you. Like a little bit.Social Superstar
You: “Man. I’ve had such a shitty day… (blah. I couldn’t think of a better term for this but here’s the gist of it. I never expected YOU to let (someone/something) get under your skin like this. or even a woman that you just met has had a really rotten day… but you want some sex… because. this is what happened)” You: (Smiling) “Wow.

Tell me I’m the greatest ever… who’s your buddy… who’s your pal… (okay. because I could literally go on forever on this topic… physical humor and teasing ROCKS.

It’s the ULTIMATE way of flirting and getting her to chase you. make sure that it’s fun for HER… but that you are ALSO AMUSING YOURSELF at the SAME TIME. I can’t believe I just said BLAMMO… ha-ha (The above statement is a great example of self depreciating humor. For example.

To have a great profile. There are three main types of online flirting: 1. Most searches that you will run are “keyword” searches (though many online dating services let you set all types of parameters via advanced search forms). it’s important to understand how search engines work. Creating a Great Profile Whether you have a subscription to an online dating service or not. to run a successful search you are better off putting in a noun: runner. both physical and verbal.or losers-only pastime to a necessary skill. 2. to scoring a one-night stand. flirting online has gone from a geeks. running…).The Best of TSBMAG. If you are the one searching. it’s important that you have a great profile. The vast majority of our flirting techniques were developed for situations in which people were connecting face-to-face. As far as coming up in random searches. 3. We flirt for a variety of purposes–from screening for a long-term partner. Because people are becoming increasingly accessible online (you can find out far more about far more people in a day via their profiles than you could in person). Verbs don’t usually fare too well in keyword searches because there are so many conjugations (run. Early-stages flirting: the first few e-mails and/or texts.

What a waste of a great porter. the most important thing is specificity. have fun. you’ll come up. Tell stories. Ask questions. if you’re into that—I’m not. they’re halfway to e-mailing you! There’s a huge difference between the following:

“I like to hang out with friends. sipping on a Jeremiah Red and talking about how Robert Downey Jr.’s performance saved Iron Man. “wink” at someone. and watch movies. if the online world is like a giant bar. if you like to run. or “poke” them or any of that gay sh#t. the two big keys to a great profile are making sure your profile is upbeat (no one wants to date a bummer) and saying something of substance. you can easily increase the likelihood of coming up in other people’s searches by using synonyms. For anyone who’s been on these types of sites for any amount of time at all. How about you and I go see it and then tell my friend how wrong he was about Jet Li?”
Now the first thing you’ll probably notice is that the second example is much longer. then how can you come off as a person of value if you don’t have anything to offer beyond clichés? The First Few E-mails Unsurprisingly. For heaven’s sake. my advice about the first few e-mails (or online chats. these half-ass forms of communication are reviled

When I told my buddy that I thought The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor stood a chance of being decent. And don’t be afraid to ask questions—a nice rhetorical question gets the other person thinking about how they’d answer. This is especially important because no matter which of the three terms someone searches for. Tell stories. one caveat is never.

You know they’re interested. you should definitely respond back with an email. I looked for his owners.e. only one of us bites…”). I sent him a one-line e-mail. Say something specific that you liked about their profile. I said. and he e-mailed me back to say that we had a favorite author in common. After a couple exchanges he tried to add me as a friend and couldn’t because he didn’t know my last name. The reason for this is that the other person will then offer their digits without you having to weaken your position at all by asking! I met my BF on MySpace.

Day 17 Phone Game Strategy
Written by Hot Alpha Female Originally Published: 07/03/2008
So let me paint the picture. to ask her out on a date. You build up the guts to talk to her. You end up calling her a couple of days later. thinking to yourself “where did it go wrong?” So here is the thing. You are left scratching your head. Here is the thing. So you call again and finally you get an answer. You talk to her expecting that things are going to pick up where you left off and are utterly stunned when she starts making excuses as to why she can’t meet up with you. Some of you may be baffled by this whole situation. Well I’m going to lay out for you what is REALLY happening and what you really SHOULD be doing. She doesn’t pick up.. You think to yourself “SWEET!! I’m in”. Because when you can't wait for the 48 hours you appear needy and in need of a life. shopping centre or the tennis club. like the rule book suggests.The Best of TSBMAG. You see a hot chick at a club. You think 'hey she is busy' and you try again later that same day. She says that she will get back to you and she never does. You still don’t get a response.
338
. Rule # 1 .. I have been on dates with guys and literally like 2 minutes after the date they are messaging me and telling me what a great time they had on the date and how they would like to see me again.

And there is no logical way to explain it. but for all the other poor girls out there. Except the item that you are selling is yourself. In fact we like them more to begin with. you don’t have to think on the spot. See it's great for us and is great for you too..Social Superstar
Then I have also had guys who send me a message straight after a date and then send me another one 30 minutes later wondering why I haven’t sent them a reply yet.. Now that doesn’t mean being something that you are not. Just make sure that when you follow this rule that you don’t wait too long after 48 hours. Now the main agenda with text is to warm her up. but don’t get into these messaging conversations. but this is not one of those instances. Anything more than 4 days and the girl (if she is interested in you) starts to get pissed because you didn’t call her within that “calling period” and she assumes that you are not interested. Rule # 2 . Every girl is comfortable with texting. Now as a general rule with messaging keep it short and sweet.Send Her A Text Msg First You know scoring a date is kind of like making a sale. The only thing that runs through my mind is. stalker. If a guy texts us within 2 days of us handing out our number then that is sufficient enough for us to know that you are interested without appearing really needy and wussy. get a life. and ewwww. So in other words you are going to have to look like something that she would want to date/buy. It means that you can actually think about what you want to write. But it does mean that for the moment you operate within a certain guidelines until you have internalized all this “game stuff” … so bear with me ok? So as part of this. At the absolute
339
. So do it not only as a favor for me. Banter a lot. It's like an instant turn off. Let her know that you are on her radar and that you will be in contact with her soon. stick to the rule of messaging her first before you call her. You can mess with a girl and pretend that you are not interested.

But you have to look at it from the point of view that YOU are the one in control because you have the strength to stop the messaging first =) Rule # 3 . You want to be able to establish comfort before you can even consider asking her out. This means that when the conversation is nearing an end. because she would have to be close to her phone in order to send the msg right?! Brilliant idea and I suggest that all you guys use it. you are the one that has to stop sending her msgs. then he would call her within a minute or so.
340
. Essentially you want to get her back into the same state as she was in when she gave you that phone number.COM
maximum make sure that you only send 2-3 msgs in one conversation. But just because it’s a short amount of time. This will bring her back to that place and help her feel more comfortable with you. You actually want to keep things fairly casual and most importantly keep it brief. The best way to do this is to refer to something that happened when you last saw her. Maybe refer to a joke that you had previously found funny with her and give her updated content on it. Some of my friends have trouble with this. Rule # 4 . because they feel in control by being the ones to have the last say. doesn’t mean that you don’t have your work cut out for you! The first thing that you want to do when you call the girl is to break the ice and get her laughing. Always be the one to end the messaging conversation. But one of the things that I heard one of the guys does on David D’s cds. He would msg this girl and then when she replied back. If a girl doesn’t think that she will be comfortable with you or will be able to trust you then she will not even consider going on that date with you.The Best of TSBMAG.Keep It Light And Keep It Casual Ok so when you call her for the first time after she has given you her phone number then it's not a good time to start going into a deep and meaningful conversation. That’s the thing with phone calls. He found that significantly increased his chance of getting to speak to her.Msg Her and Then Call Her Ok so I have to admit that this is not something that I came up with.

.Leave one voicemail that’s IT! If you have to leave a voicemail then make sure that its only one. like you and trust you .. You don’t have to repeat your number and all that crap. is know you. When courting a girl..and then you can get her to go anywhere and do just about anything with her. Two or more becomes stalkerish. Break the ice and get her to laugh before you even consider asking her out. So in regards to what you should say.Keep It Short and Sweet This kind of follows on from the other points. Rule # 6 . If you are constantly trying to impede on her space then she is totally not going to appreciate it. Like 5 minutes. As a general rule with this whole gaming and dating thing … Less is always MORE! Seriously… You don’t have to get an update of what this chick has been doing in the past 2 days.Social Superstar
So remember the rule. keep it light and keep it casual. Give her the gift of missing you ok? So with a voice mail you need to remember to keep it short and sweet. Rule # 5 . She doesn’t have to know about all your past relationships before you guys go on a date. then you can say something a little ball busting and then get her to give you a call back. just leave a short msg and then hang up. But seriously don’t talk too long. I know it sounds silly but its true and this is what goes through a chick's head. When calling a girl. be prepared for a voicemail and know what you are going to say as well. There is nothing worse than a long winded voicemail msg with a guy who doesn’t know what he is talking about. you need to remember to give her the space to think about you. All you have to get a chick to do.

. then your chances of getting to talk to her again are much higher. You have to do what works. In regards to what you should talk to her about … your main aim is to bust her balls. If you find her being more quiet that usual. If you message a girl and she doesn’t message you back. make her laugh and have a good time. If the girl messages back. it means that she is comfortable with you.. When a girl talks with ease.. Keep it short and sweet and always leave her wanting more. because A) she thinks that you are a freak or B) she hasn’t warmed up to you yet. Remember to warm a girl up to you. and this message contained some call to action on her behalf. You can tell that a girl has warmed up to you when she is laughing at your jokes and the conversation is flowing.The Best of TSBMAG. Here’s a tip. Firstly you should message first. There is no point in doing the wrong things over and over hoping that you will get a positive result in the end. then there is something up and she is not comfortable. then you need to know that you are going to have to do some major work on getting this girl to go on a date with you.

There is no way you can memorize enough routines for a two hour or more date. I also remind myself of a handful of innocent touching moves that prime her for the kiss. The worst thing you can do is lounge around at home all day in front of your computer and then go out without talking beforehand. 4. Weekend dates send the wrong message that you value her too much. usually the cube and some type of fake palm read. 2.

I made A LOT of stupid mistakes when first starting out in the game.The Best of TSBMAG. A little bit of preparation goes a long way in dates and it makes sense to do because you worked hard to meet her and get her out and don’t want to blow it with stupid mistakes. Think of her on a stage. I cannot stress how important this is. It took me about six years of constant practice but I figured out the “vibe”. I have a friend who shows up fifteen minutes late and I’m not sure that is extreme or not but I’m always at least five minutes later. it’s still a smart idea to go for it as you drop her home because it makes your job much easier for the second date. mill around for a while until you are late. Show up late. then touching her hands and putting your arm behind her in the booth of the lounge you picked. The farther you get on the first date. The first half hour will have almost no touching probably. A touch here or there that gets extended as the night goes on. Focus on escalation. a mindset that keeps your game on without trying to game. Whether this is reality or not doesn’t matter… just believe it. but even before that I remember my strategy to getting kisses used to be hoping and wishing she’d make the move and do it on her own. the less you will be nervous. The kiss will be a foregone conclusion. That’s your number one goal. While you don’t want to sound like a total idiot on the date. I sucked it up when I had enough and just started approaching like a machine. As you probably noticed. going on dates every week and noting what worked and what didn’t.

I mentioned earlier that your place should provide some interesting conversation pieces. This means that you should frame some “story worthy” photos and have them lying around. These photos will serve to demonstrate your personality as well as offer you a chance to tell some good stories. I mentioned yesterday how a good coffee table book can initiate conversation and break the tension of bringing a girl back your place. It's not a bad idea to keep some props lying around. Props include things like personality tests, interesting quizzes, this lie detector test, or other fun games. It's also not a bad idea to keep a stack of reliable DVDs lying around. These should be a good mix of romantic movies, comedies, and interesting documentaries. You never know what kind of mood the two of you will be in when you arrive at your place, and it's good to have a variety to choose from. Another good idea is to be constantly DVRing interesting things on TV. This allows you to always have something of value to throw on. An absolute great addition to your living room is Nintendo WII. This is a video game system that women finally seem to enjoy as much, if not more, than men. It's great because it can introduce some competitive flirting and offers a dynamic opportunity for Kino. This should all be a great guideline for you to transform your place into an excellent bachelor bad. Remember that the main purpose of your place is to have you and her feel comfortable and to provide some entertainment for the two of you.

Day 23 Quick Lesson in Kino
Written by The Dicknotist Originally Published: 07/14/2008

If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for ways to obtain more sex in your life. Perhaps you want something more than just sex …or perhaps not. Either way, what separates true sex from porn is that the former involves touch whereas the latter is viewed through the pixels of a computer screen. Sex cannot happen without contact and neither can seduction. Too many guys make the mistake of focusing all their efforts on conversation and while your words may peak her interest, your touch is what will drive her wild with intense desire. From the moment a woman lays eyes on you, she’s unconsciously wondering how you’ll be in bed. Will you take charge as she surrenders her body to you or will you look to her on what to do? Will you be affectionate and attentive to her needs or will you just slam it in a few times and leave? Do you actually know what you’re doing in the bedroom or will she have to teach you like all the other guys? All of that is conveyed through your eye contact and touch. We’ve all read the now famous DiCarlo Escalation Ladder (DEL), which will give you the nuts and bolts of what to do, but not necessarily the mindset behind it. Guys who aren’t used to touching women will just lay their hands on her as if they’re in a video game. They earn five points for every time they brush her arm or tap her back. When I touch a woman, I don’t play for points; I play for pleasure. When I think of touch, I imagine that my hands are like paintbrushes plastering my emotions onto her body. Call me the Jackson Pollack of seduction: I paint her arms her arms and torso now so that I can sprinkle some more on her face later…with my other special brush. So, when first talking to a girl, I will often just lightly touch her outer arms and torso with my fingers as I’m talking to her. I see it as expressive: you touch her as you talk to emphasize important points. That touch is more subtle and friendly, aimed at just making her comfortable and more trusting. During high points in the interaction, however, your touch should become more appreciative. Touch serves two purposes: to emphasize what you’re saying to her and to appreciate her. An example of appreciation could be that in talking to

her, she reveals that she works as a nurse. That immediately peaks your interest as your mom was a nurse and you realize the resiliency and compassion necessary for the job. Rather than just telling her how awesome that is, you should also touch her arm and hold it there a few seconds longer than usual and perhaps even stroke it. Expressive touch is like a period: light and quick. Appreciative touch is like an exclamation point, lasting a good 2-3 seconds. Yet the point isn’t for you to have this in your head while talking to a woman but to give you a context for which touch can amplify and supercharge your game. When you touch her, touch her as if you’re already making love to her. Cup your hand as you touch her back and cup the back of her shoulder blades. Don’t forget her sensitive spots, including her inner arms, behind her knees, the skin fold on the other side of her elbow. Later on in the interaction, touching her neck, ears, thighs, breasts will amplify her desire. Don’t be afraid to graze her breasts! Graze them now so you can glaze them later. You can get away with murder in the field as long as you are relaxed and slow down. Calibration is simply the act of doing things much more slowly, which includes walking, talking, and touching. You may be nervous, but if you can slow down your actions, you will be seen as confident and in control. Of course, touch is best demonstrated by viewing and trying it yourself. An excellent resource on touch is The Joy of Erotic Massage, which takes you through more than you’ll ever need to give women incredible pleasure with your touch from the first meet to sex. You can purchase a copy on Amazon, though you’ll probably be able to get it free through other means… I hope that when you read this essay and even see the video above, you will get some fresh ideas on how to use touch to build trust and sexual tension. Yet, to get the most out of any endeavor, you must go out and hit the field. Experiment and develop your own style. Innovation never comes from passively reading and watching. Like any man of character, you must act.

Day 24 Body Language 202
Written by Dr. Fuji Originally Published: 07/15/2008

Body language is one of the most underrated, overlooked, and powerful elements in your social arsenal. The classic study on the elements of communication by Professor Albert Mehrabian (1971, “Silent Messages” Wadsworth, Belmont, California) found that nonverbal communication accounts for as much as 93% of all communication. Body language itself makes up more than half of that. So it should come as no surprise that what you say isn’t near as important as how and when you say it. In cold approach pick up, the individual who uses body language effectively often has significantly better results than his less-enlightened counterparts. In this article we’ll be delving into the use of body language to convey high value, how to show interest or disinterest non-verbally, and fixing common sticking points and pitfalls. Let’s begin. An interesting thing about body language is that it tends to override your verbal. In other words, people will believe your nonverbal communication more than even what you actually say. So if your verbally sub communicate high value but your non-verbal says the opposite, people will tend to trust the body language over the words. While seemingly counter-intuitive, the fact is most people tend to place more trust in forms of communication that are harder to consciously alter. We can lie with our words quite easily. Lying with our body language is much more difficult. Because your body language is so incredibly consistent, women especially have found that it’s generally a very effective way to evaluate others. And therein lays both the problem and the effectiveness of body language. It’s very difficult to change, but when you are successful, it conveys much more influence than other forms of communication. One of the most effective uses for body language is communicating value. We do this by consciously altering our behaviors and mannerisms from unattractive to attractive. Imagine two men, both of equal confidence, looks, attractiveness, and other factors. But one man makes eye contact when he speaks and the other looks away and fails to make eye contact. Who is more attractive? The objective is to sub363

communicate through our body language that we are “high-value” (read: attractive) men. By “high-value,” we mean that we have high quantities of the social and evolutionary value to which people respond. A “highvalue” man is one who encompasses all of the qualities and mannerisms that women are hard-wired to find attractive. Think: confidence, leadership ability, power, attractiveness to other women, strength, internally validated, etc. There are three main body positions in most social situations which you can use to convey value: How you stand, how you walk/move, and how you sit. Although full body language overhauls are beyond the scope of this article, the fundamentals are quite simple. When you’re standing, you want to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider, shoulders pulled back, standing up straight, and chest somewhat out. Your weight should generally be towards the rear of your soles (closer to the heel) so that you always appear to be leaning back. It should not be an uncomfortable stance, but one which clearly does not lend itself to laziness. Picture the way a U.S. Marine would stand when at ease. Your stance should project confidence. Your hands should drape at your sides the way they naturally fall. Do not put your hands in your pockets or cross them over your chest. When you walk or move, the object is to convey dominance and purpose. Your hands should swing naturally at your sides while you walk but without looking either stiff or “floppy.” Practice this in the mirror if you suspect they are moving unnaturally. Walk at about 50% of your normal speed when in the venue. When you are moving towards something (a set, an exit, the bathrooms, etc), take the shortest route possible—usually a straight line. Instead of circling a set several times like a vulture, walk straight up with confidence. Similarly, when moving through the crowd, you want to project dominance. Oftentimes women notice you and the way you move or interact with people and they make judgments about you before you’ve even noticed them. Dominance is tough to put in text but it’s something we drill in our live boot camps. The objective is to be verbally polite while “guiding” people out of your way. Don’t be afraid to touch both men and women while you’re walking through a crowd. A hand gently on the triceps or back letting people know you’re coming through is a dominant, yet polite way of moving through the crowd and communicating that you expect people to move out of your way.

When you sit, the objective is to take up space while appearing relaxed and comfortable. Don’t overdo ‘taking up space’ lest you come off as tryhard. What you want to communicate is that you do not make any apologies for your existence and that you are used to always being comfortable. It’s the same concept as locking in. Useful tactics to convey this include draping your arms over the backs of chairs or over the seatbacks of booths or couches. Your upper body should ideally be leaning back without hunching over. Feet and legs can be spread moderately or crossed ankle-to-knee. Sliding forward slightly in your seat will allow you to lean back even in a vertically-backed chair. The main communication here is that you are comfortable and confident. Do not cross your arms over your chest for this reason. The other thing that body language is extremely useful for is showing interest or disinterest nonverbally. Because women are so much better attuned to body language relative to men, they feel your nonverbal indicators of interest (IOIs) or disinterest (IODs) much more powerfully than we do as men. For example, facing a set or group is one way to nonverbally show interest. Conversely, facing away is a subtle show of disinterest. Other body language-based indicators of interest include: Leaning in, Kino escalation (escalating physical touch), strong eye contact, and cocking your head to the side. Indicators of disinterest include: leaning back, putting barriers between you and the set or group (especially in front of your midsection, e.g. arms crossed, drink in front of the chest, etc), not smiling, “body rocking”, and looking away. Note that some of these things can also be considered demonstrations of lower value so be cognizant of what you are communicating to people. The power in nonverbal IOIs and IODs are that they can be used both subtly and oftentimes with more impact than their verbal counterparts. For example, a nonverbal false time constraint (an IOD) is much more powerful than a verbal-only version. As we’ve discussed earlier, people tend to place more credibility on body language than verbal communication because of the difficulty involved in controlling it. The punishment-reward sub-dynamic is the underlying principle behind Mehow’s Chase Cycling™ model and is most effective when body language is used to both reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. A great example of this is during the first minute of the interaction. Sets generally don’t face you right off the opener. They’re usually facing each

other. When you begin to hook the set, you can tell by their body language – they start to turn toward you. You can then nonverbally reward by more directly facing them or giving emotional value. If they give you IODs, you can punish by facing away and throwing a false time constraint (a verbal IOD). This psychologically conditions women to invest and to work for you. And as we all know, we value that which we work for. Finally, there are certain body language mistakes that the majority of guys find themselves making during their training. By being aware of these common sticking points, you’ll be better equipped to stop them before they become bad habits. Let’s examine a few of the most common: Leaning In: This is one of the most common sticking points most guys make. Leaning in is an instinctive body language move that you have to consciously change. The lower the set is (seated, lying down, shorter than you, etc.), the more you’ll feel the urge to lean in. Don’t do it. Have a wing observe you in set and let you know when you’re leaning in. Rewarding bad behavior: Directly and continually facing a set which is closed off and giving you IODs is rapport and acceptance-seeking. You are non-verbally rewarding the set for defiance. Instead, mirror a set’s body language IODs with your own. Take advantage of both false time constraints and body rocking to avoid continually facing a set that isn’t hooking. Lacking dominance: Everything you do in field should be done with confidence and dominance. From the initial approach, to Kino escalation, to simply walking through the crowd, your body language is communicating things about you. Dominant body language communicates confidence, pre-selection, and social proof. Fidgeting: Nervous ticks such as swaying from side to side, playing with your hands or fingers, moving around too much, or playing with your drink all tell the set and everyone around you that you are not only nervous around them, but that they are higher value and thus, you are emotionally reacting to them. The emotion of nervousness often manifests itself through these nervous behaviors. Eliminate them. You’ll notice a marked improvement in your interactions. Drink shield: This is another common sticking point the majority of men have. The “drink shield” is when people hold their drink in front of their chest in a social environment. The sub communication behind this body language tick is that you’re nervous and uneasy. So your instinctive reaction is to cover your midsection (traditionally the most vulnerable

I used to hate when a girl asked me one of these questions. the girl would throw it in my face how I should have just been honest with her back when she asked “where this was going. when I finally had the balls to end it. and pray that things will roll along at the status quo. Where is this going? If you’ve been dating a girl that you have no intention of making your girlfriend… than you need to change the way you view these 3 questions. And what I hated more. It is never easy to end things with a girl… and every situation will be different.The Best of TSBMAG. The longer you wait to end it. Now that you’re out meeting and dating a variety of girls you’ll quickly find that you won’t be on the same page as most of them. I hated the way I had to lie or change topics or be extremely vague with my answer. Where do we stand? 2. But there is one constant rule that does not change. was when months later.

.” Well. now I’ve learned to love when a girl asks me one those questions… because I’ve learned to just be honest with her. What is this? 3. Eventually you are bound to hear one of these 3 evil questions: 1. The irony of this is that you will probably find it is more difficult to end it with a girl than it was to get her.

That resentment is unhealthy for your soul. If you lead a girl on for six months and then tell her that you don’t have feelings for her other than sexual. you’ll be amazed at how quickly more will flow into your life. This is why you should use the opportunity most girls will present you with and come clean and be honest with them. If you let her know this after a few weeks than it is more likely she will keep you on the side as a booty call. In that case she doesn’t give you an out. tell her. You need to crush that hope. There is an abundance of women available.Social Superstar
When a girl doesn’t ask “what is this” and lets thing go along like everything is fine… that is when it is exceptionally hard to end it. You will

. I wrote a post awhile back called Why You Shouldn’t String Girls Along where I talked about the negative effect stringing a girl along has on your personality. As hard as it may seem to tell a girl you don’t love her or don’t want a relationship with her. If a girl asks you “where this is headed” and you don’t see it turning into a long term relationship. This is a lot harder than it seems. The secret to ending a relationship is honesty. Many guys will continue dating a girl they have no feelings for simply because they are scared to be single or unable to give up the steady sex. Tell her why.. I know that sounds mean. it will be a lot harder to make the transition. This is not the mentality that a true player should have. The longer you date a girl you have no real feelings for the more resentment will grow inside of you. and you have to be the one to address the situation. She will respect you for your honesty. The minute you free yourself up from one girl. The right decision may not always be the easiest. She can’t have those two years back.. In yesterday’s lesson I talked about how if you’re really good in the bedroom you can usually keep sleeping with girls long after they’ve realized that you’re not going to be their boyfriend. But this needs to be established as soon as possible. Ultimately it is all about living with integrity. If she doesn’t feel it's for real than she will be filled with hope that you will get back together. But you’ll find that if you continually are honest with yourself and others your life will be a lot less complicated. this will actually allow her to move on and get over you. But it is a lot meaner to let a girl waste two years hoping that you’ll finally see the light and be what she wanted. The more you try to sugar coat a break up the less likely she will feel the break up is for real.
